Non-stick cooking spray
1 cup (235 ml) organic corn syrup
1/4 cup (61 g) unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup (128 g) crunchy natural peanut butter
1 1/2 cups (117 g) quick-cooking oats
1 cup (116 g) wheat germ
1/3 cup (53 g) raisins
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4). Lightly coat an 8-inch (20-cm) square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine corn syrup, applesauce, and peanut butter in a small saucepan, until melted and emulsified.
Combine oats, wheat germ, raisins, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Fold wet ingredients into dry, and combine until coated.
Press mixture into the prepared pan, bake for 20 minutes.
Place the pan on a wire rack to cool. Chill in the fridge while still in pan for an easier time slicing into bars.
