Sassy's Awesome Breakfast Bars

• 1 cup shredded carrot
• 1 cup shredded zucchini
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin
• 1 cup applesauce
• 2 cups vanilla yogurt
• 1 tablespoon maple extract
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups sugar (mix into wet ingredients so it dissolves well)
• 4 cups quick oatmeal
• 3 cups white flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons wheat germ
• 2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 12 cup sunflower seeds
• 1 cup golden raisin
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 cup pecans

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Grease with cooking spray 2 9x13 pans.
3. Combine dry ingredients into large bowl.
4. Combine wet ingredients into a large bowl (I use my biggest Tupperware mixing bowl).
5. Use heavy duty mixer or mix by hand, mixture will be very thick.
6. Combine dry ingredients into wet ingredients, a little at a time, mixture will be very thick when all is combined.
7. Stir in all the fruit and nuts with wooden spoon.
8. Pour into greased pans and smooth tops.
9. I put both pans on same rack.
10. If you have a small oven, place 1 pan on each rack, then switch pans half way through baking.
11. Bake 50 minutes to 1 hour.
12. Check after 50 minutes with toothpick.
13. If clean, bars are done, if not try 5 to 10 more minutes.
14. Cooling bars completely will make cutting them into bars easier.
15. After the bars are cool, I cut and then put each into a freezer bag and freeze.
16. Then every morning I take one out and let sit while my tea steeps--usually it's thawed out by the time I'm ready to drink my tea.
17. I like mine cold or room temp, however DH likes them heated in the microwave!
