Whole-Wheat Rhubarb Dream Bars

[FrugalSue]

I have some rhubarb growing in my back yard, and I wanted to make something yummy but healthy. So I looked online and found a couple of recipes for "Rhubarb Dream Bars," and I altered them so I could make them healthy. (No white flour, no sugar, less butter!) Here's what I came up with, and they're great! Tart and slightly sweet at once.

Whole-Wheat Rhubarb Dream Bars

Ingredients:

Crust:

1 C. whole-wheat flour
5 individual packets of Splenda
2 T. butter

Topping:

2 eggs
5 individual packets of Splenda
1/4 C. whole-wheat flour
Dash of salt
2 C. rhubarb--fresh, diced

Preheat oven to 350 F. Blend crust ingredients and press them into ungreased 9 x 9 inch pan. Mix topping ingredients and spoon evenly over crust. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until top is lightly brown. Let cool before cutting.

P.S. My husband loved these!

these sound so good! I'll have to get my hands on some rhubarb and try them.

I think this basic bar recipe would work for other tart fruits, too, like maybe baking apples or pie cherries. I'm looking forward to taking these to some potlucks and such.
