Ingredients

> 1/4 cup Mott's ® Cinnamon Applesauce
> 1 cup quick-cook rolled oats (not instant)
> 1 cup mixed nuts, coarsely chopped
> 1 cup dried cranberries (or dried cherries, raisins, or chopped dried apricots)
> 1/2 cup shredded coconut
> 1/4 cup millet (optional)
> 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or cashew butter)
> 1/2 cup brown rice syrup (or honey)

Steps

1
Preheat oven to 325˚F and grease a square 8- or 9-inch baking pan.
2
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until the nut butter, brown rice syrup, and applesauce are fully combined.
3
Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan in an even layer—it will be sticky! Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is matte and starting to brown.
4
Cool completely on a rack, then cut into 16 bars, each approximately 2 inches square.
5
It is recommended that if you substitute honey for brown rice syrup, you refrigerate overnight before cutting.
