Daddy's Yum Yum Bars

We call these Daddy's Yum Yum bars. They do not last long ! Thanks Elana . . .

These hearty breakfast bars remind me of a granola bar or an omega-3 packed power bar. They're filling and tasty. Sometimes I don't have all the ingredients so I had dried apricots, so I used those instead of coconut. ( Little Miss is also allergic to coconut, so that worked out well for us) We have used all kinds of different nuts, and whatever the mix they have always been delicious!! I keep it to 3/4 cup fruit and 1 1/4 cup of nuts.

None of the nuts and seeds in this low-maintenance bar are toasted. I wanted to make something quick and easy, that could be whipped up in just a couple of minutes before popping into the oven.
