Vegan Cranberry Carrot Oat Bars

Here is a yummy recipe for a great snack full of fiber and rich in vitamin A and protein (if you add the nuts).

Preheat oven to 375.  Line a 9 inch square baking dish with parchment paper and lightly brush or spray with oil.

Stir together:

1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup honey or agave nectar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons oil

Combine in separate bowl:

1 cup oats
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup finely chopped dried cranberries

Add applesauce mixture to oat mixture and stir until combined.  Spread into pan on top of parchment paper.  Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
