Ingredients
1/3 cup raisins1 cup all-purpose flour1/3 cup packed brown sugar1/2 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon ground ginger1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/4 teaspoon salt1/4 cup molasses3 tablespoons butter, melted1 large egg white or 2 tablespoons egg substitute1 teaspoon vanilla extract1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°. Cover raisins with boiling water. Let stand for 5 minutes; drain and set aside.
Whisk together next 6 ingredients. In another bowl, combine molasses, butter, egg white and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in walnuts and raisins (batter will be wet).
Divide batter in half; spread each half (wetting hands, if necessary) into a 12x2-in. rectangle 2 in. apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until edges are lightly browned and set, 10-15 minutes.
Transfer rectangles to a cutting board; with a serrated knife, cut diagonally into 1-1/2-in. bars. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container.
