6 Grain Apple Pancake Bars

We have really been loving the THRIVE 6 grain pancake mix. They make great pancakes and we just discovered that they make great pancake bars.  These bars are great eaten hot out of the oven or freeze some for a quick breakfast. We serve them with maple syrup, but you could try lemon curd, or apple butter. 


Yields: 20 Bars
6 Grain Apple Pancake Bars
3 cups THRIVE 6 Grain pancake Mix
2 large eggs, lightly beaten (2 Tablespoon powdered whole eggs, plus 1/4 cup water)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 dehydrated apple slices, diced into 1/2" pieces
2 cups Granola 

For Topping:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1. Grease and Parchment a 9 by 13 inch rectangular cake pan. Set aside. 
2. Mix dry ingredients and stir with a wire whisk. Add wet ingredients and stir until just barely combined. Add in Granola and apples, stirring just until coated. You want your batter to be lumpy with out any dry spots.
3.  Pour into prepared pans. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow batter to rest in pans while oven is coming to temperature. 
4. Mix streusel topping ingredients in a small bowl. Crumble over pancake mixture 
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, when touched, it should spring back gently. Remove from oven and remove from pan (thanks parchment paper!) and place on wire rack to cool slightly.
