Whole-Grain Breakfast Bars

• 4.75 ounces whole-wheat flour (about 1 cup)
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 ripe bananas
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg white
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries
• Cooking spray

1. Preheat oven to 375u0b0.
2. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through salt) in a medium bowl.
3. Place bananas in a large bowl; mash until smooth. Add sugar and next 5 ingredients (through egg white); stir until combined. Add flour mixture, stirring until combined. Stir in nuts and dried cranberries.
4. Spread dough into a 13 x 9-inch metal baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375u0b0 for 22 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into 16 bars.
5. BAKE A SECOND BATCH A large bowl can hold a double batch of the dough, and the hearty mix will perform just fine. Bake bars on the same (middle) rack in the oven. The bars can be a little crumbly, so wrap them individually and pack with plenty of padding to transport or ship overnight.
