Jam Bars

I took the standard jam bars recipe and gave
it a shot of healthy tofu, basically reducing the butter by half!
Of course, I reduced the sugar to next to nothing. Who needs
sugar when the jam is sufficiently sweet, and the whole

grains give it that lovely nutty and sweet flavour!

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup tofu (I use the soft tofu that comes in tubs from the oriental grocer.)
1/3 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
2 cups flour (I use either all spelt, or a blend of whole wheat, spelt, oat, barley, depending on what I have on hand.)
1 cup jam
Confectioners sugar
Chopped walnuts or almonds or other favourite nuts

Cream butter, tofu and sugar. Beat in eggs yolks, then stir in flour, half a cup at a time. Press half the dough into a 9? square baking pan. Spread with jam and top with remaining dough. Dough will be thick; it can be dropped by half spoonfuls to cover jam.

Bake at 375 deg F for 35 minutes. Cool. Cut into bars (or squares).
