How to Make Fruited Lowfat Oatmeal Bars

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Lightly grease a 7x11 inch or 9x9 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 2 cups rolled oats, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup chopped dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, etc), 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional).
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add in the remaining 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen fruit (blueberries, raspberries, etc). Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 22-24 minutes for a glass pan, or 25-28 minutes for a dark metal pan, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into 18 squares.
