Oatmeal-Bran Cookie Bars
- 2 cups rolled oats old fashioned
- 3/4 cup bran
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
- Butter an 8-inch square pan, line with parchment paper, and butter parchment paper.
- Set aside.
- Mix oats, bran, cinnamon, and salt in medium bowl.
- In small bowl, beat two eggs together.
- Add eggs and applesauce to oat mixture, and stir until combined.
- Mix in chocolate and butterscotch chips.
- Spread batter in prepared pan.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until set and starting to brown.
- Let cool and then cut into bars.
- This recipe makes some delicious, gooey, chocolatey bars that are relatively healthy.
- Applesauce replaces any butter or oil a normal recipe might call for.
- The bars are a little chewy due to all the oats, but the bran is barely noticeable.
- And don't forget that oats and bran are really good for you!
- I made these bars to take for a breakfast that would keep me full until lunchtime (a nice change from oatmeal or fruit and yogurt), but I'm sure they would make a good afternoon or after-dinner snack too.
