have you ever had those blueberry oat bars at starbucks? i have been wanting to come up with a healthy version of that and finally found something. I have the Super Baby Food book about baby and kids eating and there are healthy recipes in there. this book really is so great, i recommend it to all new moms! i finally made this recipe and it turned out so delicious. the jam i used is from trader joes and is just fruit and they use juice to sweeten it. if you dont have some of the ingredients like wheat germ or nonfat dry milk, i am sure you can substitute with whole wheat flour. i am pretty sure she put that stuff in there to make it more healthy. but just the fact there isnt sugar and white flour and good oil instead of butter makes it so much better for you.

1 1/2 cup oats

1/4 cup wheat germ

1/4 cup ground nuts (i used ground flax seeds)

1/4 cup nonfat dry milk

1/4 cup oil ( i used safflower high heat oil)

5 tbsp honey

1 egg

1/4 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup fruit or no sugar fruit spread (i used blueberry fruit spread from trader joes)

pour all batter in pan then spread fruit on top, then top with a thin layer of oats if you like.

bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes

 wait for them to cool.... yum!
