Pour batter into baking pan, and bake for about 40 minutes till golden brown.

There is no flour or egg in this recipe.  The resulting bar is very moist.

The recipe can be halved and baked in a 9" x 9" pan, decreasing cooking time to 30 minutes

I don't know the nutritional values of these.  If you do, please don't tell me.  Since I'm not really a breakfast eater, I like to grab one of these out of the freezer for a mid-morning snack.  Makes a very portable take-a-long breakfast.
