and raisins and are perfect for an after-school snack. You can always substitute a different nut
butter, so play around with almond, cashew or even sunflower-seed butter.
1 cup fl our
½ cup quick oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
teaspoon salt
¼ cup oil
cup sugar
cup applesauce
½ cup peanut butter
cup raisins
cup chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 x 8-inch baking
pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil or
margarine.
In a large bowl, mix together fl our, oats, baking powder,
baking soda and salt. In a medium bowl, combine oil and
sugar and mix until well-combined. Stir in applesauce and
mix until well-combined (you may need to use a whisk or
an electric hand mixer on low speed). Add wet ingredients
to dry ingredients and mix well, making sure to scrape the
bottom of the bowl for pockets of fl our. Stir in raisins and
chocolate chips.
Spread batter onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 38
to 42 minutes, until bars are lightly browned on the edges
and set in the middle. Let bars cool in the pan on a cooling
rack for at least 45 minutes before cutting. Store bars
covered at room temperature.
