INGREDIENTS FOR 12 SERVINGS:

2/3 cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons stick margarine or butter, softened

3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large egg whites

3/4 cup whole-wheat flour

1-1/2 cups regular oats

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup shredded carrot

1/2 cup raisins

Cooking spray

Oats, whole-wheat flour, and raisins make these snack bars fiber-rich. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Beat sugar and margarine at

medium speed of a mixer until well-blended (about 5 minutes). Add

buttermilk, vanilla, and egg whites; beat well. Lightly spoon flour

into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and next

5 ingredients (flour through salt); gradually add to sugar mixture,

beating just until blended. Stir in carrot and raisins. 3. Pour batter into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 33 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack.
