Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup dried cherries
½ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)
½ cup pancake syrup
1 cup applesauce
¾ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix flour, white sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Stir in oats, cherries, walnuts, and pancake syrup. Make a well in the center; pour in applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until dough comes together. Press dough into a 10x15-inch baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool before cutting into bars.

Cook's Notes:

Substitute brown sugar for the pancake syrup if desired.

If using sweetened applesauce, cut sweetened by 1/4 cup.
