How to Make Karen's Power Bars
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray. If using a metal pan, line with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats and 1 cup all-purpose flour.
- Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Add 1 large egg, 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil to the oat mixture.
- Stir in 1/2 cup sunflower seeds and 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting.
- Once cooled, cut into bars and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
