From www.gingerbreadbagels.com. I am making these tonight, but needed to get the nutritional information. I left out the cinnamon, but added it to the recipe. This recipe does not have any oil, butter or pounds of sugar. In fact there's only 1/4 cup of brown sugar.

These are my favorite go to snack "cake". Each serving fits perfectly in a snack size ziploc, and these freeze beautifully. I put one frozen in my lunch, and when I'm ready for it in the afternoon, it is thawed. Diabetic Exchanges per serving are: 1 Fruit, 1/2 Starch and 1/2 Fat. I am posting the recipe as written, but I always use Splenda. See note at the end of the recipe. Recipe is courtesy of Joanna Lund.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Press the batter firmly into the pan. This will help the bars hold together.
  • Chill the bars for at least 2 hours before cutting. This will help them set and make them easier to cut.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
