A perfect school snack
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 55 minutes
Serving Size: 9


Ingredients:
• 2 large ripe mangos, peeled, pitted and pureed
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup rolled oats
• 2/3 cup flour

• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:
Place pureed mango in a medium saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 25 minutes, stirring frequently, until excess liquid has cooked off and mixture is very thick but is still moist.

Preheat oven to 375°F and spray an 8-inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Beat together brown sugar and butter in a medium bowl. Add egg and vanilla and mix until smooth. Stir in oats, flour, oat bran, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

Spread into prepared pan, then spread mango mixture over top; sprinkle with walnuts. Bake for 30 minutes.

Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
