Ingredients
Recipe yields 16 servings
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped almonds
3 cups unsweetened puffed grain cereal
2 cups dried cranberries
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
12 oz silken tofu, drained
1 large egg
1/2 cup olive oil
3/4 cup honey
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp grated orange zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°. Coat a large (15 1/4- by 10 1/4-inch) baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
On another baking sheet with sides, spread oats and almonds. Bake until light golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and add puffed cereal, dried cranberries, flour and salt; stir to combine. Set aside.
Step 3
In a food processor or blender, purée tofu, egg, oil, honey, vanilla and orange zest until smooth.
Step 4
Add the tofu mixture to the puffed cereal mixture and stir gently until combined. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
Step 5
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until firm in the center and golden brown. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. With a sharp knife, cut into 16 bars.
Step 6
To make ahead: Individually wrap each bar in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature or remove plastic, wrap in a paper towel and defrost in microwave.
