Raisins and other dried fruits such as craisins can store for a long time; one serving is usually a tablespoon.
Raisin Spice Bars
1 c. raisins
1 c. boiling water
_____________
1/2 c. oil
1 large egg
(or 2 T. dried whole egg powder + 3 T. water)
______________
3/4 c. sugar
1 and 1/4 c. unbleached flour
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. each: cloves and nutmeg
Grease and flour a 9x13 pan. Pre-heat oven to 375°.
Mix raisins and boiling water, set aside until cooled to just warm (the raisins will puff up a bit, this is normal and what we want).
Mix sugar, flours, salt, baking soda, spices. Add oil and egg to the warm raisins/water; then stir this into dry ingredients until well combined. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Cut bars with a pizza cutter, finish cutting to edges with a sharp knife.
