Apricot and almond soy snacks




I love a commercial bar here in Australia called “Soy Snax”.  Last time I bought one, I looked at the ingredients, and made my own!  You can replace the apricots and almonds with your favourite dried fruit and nuts.

Ingredients:
1 cup okara, firmly packed
1 cup flour
3/4 cup chopped dried apricots
1 1/3 cups unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup slivered or chopped almonds
1 1/2 cups puffed rice cereal
1/2 cup honey

Method:
1. Grease a square baking pan, and preheat oven to 170oC.
2. In a bowl, combine okara, flour, apricots, coconut, and almonds.  Stir in cereal.  Stir in honey, and mix to form a dough.  Press into prepared pan.  Bake 30-35 min., until set and lightly golden on top.  Cut into 12 bars while still hot, and allow to cool in pan 30-45 min.  Lift out bars and cool on a wire rack.
