Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. Combine oats, bran, wheat germ, flour, dried cranberries or raisins, almonds and walnuts (if using), baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk together applesauce, milk, eggs and brown sugar in another bowl.
  4. Pour over dry ingredients and mix just to combine. Spread into a greased 8 inch (20 cm) square baking pan, smoothing top.
  5. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a rack before cutting into bars.
