Steps:
- Directions, Oven at 350 degrees, have a baking pan ready.
- Mix the dry ingredients together, add the oil and apple sauce and mix.
- Separate about 2 cups of the mixture. Put the mixture into a pan or two - we used 1 14"x12" pan. You can grease the sides of the pan, but it isn't necessary on the bottom.
