    1 1/2  Cups          Oatmeal -- uncooked
    1      Cup           flour
      1/2  Cup           brown sugar, packed
    1      Teaspoon      cinnamon
      1/2  Teaspoon      baking soda
      1/4  Teaspoon      salt
    1      Cup           orange juice
      1/4  Cup           vegetable oil
    1                    egg -- lightly beaten
    1      Teaspoon      vanilla
    6      Ounces        Dried Mixed Fruit -- Diced
    2      Tablespoons   oats
 
 Combine 1 1/2 cups oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, soda and salt.  Combine
 juice, oil, egg and vanilla and add to dry ingredients. Mix well.  Stir
 in
 fruit.  Spread into a 13x9 inch pan that has been sprayed with no-stick
 cooking spray.  Sprinkle with remaining oats.  Bake at 375 for 20-22
 minutes
 or until lightly browned and edges pull away from sides of pan.  Cool
 completely.  Cut into bars.  Store tightly covered.  (Bars may also be
 frozen in individual bags.  Thaw at room temperature or microwave on high
 for 30 seconds per bar.)  Makes 20 bars.
 Note: I have used dried pineapple in place of the dried  mixed fruit for
 a variation.
