Nap Time Nummy All-Natural Energy Bars

I almost couldn't wait to put my daughter down for her nap this afternoon as the ingredients of my new find rested lonely and unused on the counter. She and I played with bubbles, ate lunch, watched a movie and all the while I could hear the oats and the cinnamon and the large organic gala apple calling to me from their place near my kitchen aid.

Recently I found an awesome recipe in the Backpacker magazine that sounded not only delicious for the trail, but delicious to down while my sweet baby napped! The second my watch struck 1:30pm, I grabbed my baby and we rushed upstairs to put her to bed! I said my 'sweet dreams' and she gave me a big kiss and off to lala land she went!

I on the other hand practically sprinted downstairs to my kitchen and brown sugar! As we speak this recipe is baking at 400' in my oven, but I can almost gaurantee it will be a success as the batter tasted amazing!

The recipe truly calls for healthy ingredients (aside from the butter, but c'mon, anything good that I bake has butter). And, I truly believe that these little bars would be fantastic up camping or backpacking! They include chopped apple, oats, brown sugar, raisins and carrots....tell me that you couldn't suck one of these bad boys down right now!

*See the left-hand column 'Baking, Crochet, Creativity' for the entire recipe.
