ingredients

177.44 ml whole wheat pastry flour
118.29 ml white whole wheat flour
157.80 ml rolled oats, ground in a food processor for 30 seconds
9.85 ml cinnamon
7.39 ml salt
3.69 ml baking powder
2.46 ml fresh grated nutmeg
1.23 ml allspice
1.23 ml ground ginger
177.48 ml unsalted butter, softened
315.37 ml packed brown sugar
236.59 ml natural applesauce
4.92 ml vanilla
1 large egg
236.59 ml cinnamon baking chips
Glaze
236.59 ml peanut butter
88.74 ml honey

directions

Preheat oven to 350.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, ground oats, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, allspice and ginger.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Mix in the applesauce and vanilla until combined. Beat in the egg, making sure to stop and scrape down the bowl a couple times. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until combined - fold in the cinnamon chips.
Scoop mixture into a 9" x 13" baking dish coated with nonstick spray and use an off-set spatula to spread the mixture evenly.
Bake until golden and the center just begins to spring back when lightly touched in the center - about 30-40 minutes, the center should still be moist -- but not wet. Remove and place baking dish on a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze:.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and honey. Heat in the microwave just until the peanut butter softens. Stir the two together until smooth and quickly spread the mixture over the bars.

I'm a med school student that loves to cook. You might have guessed though that being a college student doesn't give me a whole lot of money to spend on ingredients and such. So instead, whenever I go home, I try to cook something new for parents.
