Here is what I actually did to make these bars.  While I’m willing to tell you what I did, it seems unfair to link that to the original recipe which probably isn’t at all properly reflected in my final result.

Pre-heat oven to 350°.

Coat 13″ x 9″ pan with cooking spray and dust with flour.

• 3 oz. all purpose flour
• 1.6 oz. whole wheat flour
• 1/2 t. cream of tartar                    Whisk to combine dry ingredients
• 1/4 t. baking soda                           in small bowl.
• 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
• dash of salt

• 1 1/4 c. brown sugar (packed)       Combine in large bowl
• 1/4 c. canola oil                               (Here is where I put them in a LARGE bowl,
• 2 T. milk                                           not realizing I was going to beat until smooth).
• 2 large eggs                                      Beat until smooth.  🙂

Add flour mixture to  large bowl and beat at low speed until combined.

• 1 1/2 c. whole grain flakes & clusters cereal
• 3/4 c. chopped dried fruit

Fold fruit and cereal into batter.  Spoon batter into prepared pan.

1/2 c. flaked sweetened coconut.     Sprinkle coconut on top.

Bake until golden ( about 25-30 minutes.  Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
