24/365 Choc-oat-late A-Sauce Cookie Bar

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

Yesterday while I recovered from my wisdom teeth extraction, I was feeling out of it. Due to the narcotic, I couldn't concentrate on any of my assignments that I needed to write or anything. I decided to bake to clear my head and just do something with my hands. I find that when get caught up in an uncreative groove, I need to break from the system and do something creative. Hence, I decided to bake  :)

I wanted something that used applesauce as a substitute for oil/butter/eggs and that had chocolate. I found my savior in Applesauce Oatie Cookies. However, I used:

1. Old-fashioned oats (that's what we had in the house)
2. Whole wheat flour
3. A little less than 1 cup of brown sugar
4. 1/4 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup turbinado (raw sugar)
5. No raisins!

Also, I was lazy and didn't bake them as individual cookies. Rather I poured the batter into a 9 x 13. I had a little extra and put it in a smaller baking tin (picture above). I tell you friends, it's delicious! It's gloomy over here. I find that baking yumminess can lift your spiriits.

In health,

Lauren
