These naturally sweet munchies contain no added sweeteners, and no flour. They deliver a big jolt of potassium, a mineral vital to the rhythmic beat of your heart. Oat Bran and lecithin makes them a boon to cholesterol-watchers. All this and flavors that cozy up to your tongue with all the nostalgia of an old -fashioned bar. Maybe you should double the recipe. 1 cup raisins (Plumped by soaking for 1/2 hr.) 1 cup pitted prunes, chopped 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts 3 Tbsp Oat Bran 2 Tbsp lecithin granules 3 eggs, lightly beaten, if you're limiting egg yolks, use the whites only Preheat oven to 350 F.
