VEGAN TROPICAL MAGIC BARS
These vegan magic bars are one of the easiest treats you can make. By using plant-based butter and condensed coconut milk, they are completely vegan-friendly. I also added some dried pineapple, mango and macadamia nuts to give them the tropical spin. -James Schend, Taste of Home Deputy Editor

HEALTHY BREAKFAST BARS -- MY WAY!
A moist (adult) breakfast bar chocked full of fruit, chocolate chips, and nuts -- Inspired by Recipe #136075 -- If you don't like raisins, feel free to try them with dried cranberries, dried cherries, dried apricots, chopped dates and/or coconut instead! Makes two 13 x 9 Pyrex pans baked at 325F degrees for 30 minutes -- makes 50 squares total . Wrapped individually, bars stay fresh for two weeks -- or freeze them for a Once A Month Cooking (OAMC) adventure! NOTE: For more kid-friendly bars, use apple juice instead of Scotch Whiskey! :)

Steps:
- Grease two 9" x 13" Pyrex pans.
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Combine scotch whiskey (or apple juice), vanilla, and RAISINS, in a microwave bowl ~ microwave for 1 minute and soak till plump (about 30 minutes) ~ do not drain!
- Combine dry ingredients (except raisins) in large bowl, stirring well.
- Combine remaining wet ingredients in a large bowl, or an 8 cup measure. Whisk thoroughly for a uniform, lump-free mixture.
- Pour wet ingredients, including undrained raisins, into dry ingredients. Stir well.
- Pour into greased pans and bake for 30 minutes at 325 degrees. (Bake pans one at a time, or together side by side on the same rack ~ rotate pans after 20 minutes.).
- Cool completely and cut each pan into 25 squares ~ I cut mine with a pizza cutter! Wrap individually in plastic wrap ~ bars stay fresh and moist for two weeks! Freeze after wrapping individually, if desired, for a once a month cooking (OAMC) breakfast adventure!
- NOTE: Dried cranberries, cherries, apricots, dates, and/or coconut (or a combination) can be substituted for the raisins to make a different bar.
Tips for Making Tropical Breakfast Bars:
- **Use ripe fruit.** This will ensure that your bars are sweet and flavorful. If you don't have ripe fruit on hand, you can roast it in the oven to bring out its natural sweetness. - **Don't overmix the batter.** Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - **Bake the bars in a preheated oven.** This will help them to cook evenly. - **Let the bars cool completely before cutting them.** This will prevent them from falling apart. - **Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.**Conclusion:
Tropical Breakfast Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They're a great way to start your day or to satisfy your sweet tooth. With their bright colors and tropical flavors, these bars are sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy breakfast option, give Tropical Breakfast Bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
