How to Make Applesauce Oatmeal Snack Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated white sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup chunky applesauce, ½ cup raisins, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
  7. Pour half of the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Spread the raisin filling evenly over the oat mixture.
  9. Top with the remaining oat mixture, spreading evenly.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
