Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Oil a 9 x 13 inch (22 x 33­cm) baking pan.

  2. Step 2

    In large bowl, mix together oats, flour, flaxseed, brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins and sunflower seeds. Make a well in center; set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In small bowl, combine honey, egg, canola oil, applesauce and vanilla. Add liquid ingredients to well and mix. Pat mixture evenly into a prepared pan.

  4. Step 4

    Bake 20 to 25 minutes until bars begin to turn golden at edges. Cool 5 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm. Do not allow bars to cool completely before cutting, or they will be too hard to cut.
