Cherry Chocolate Oat Bars image

A tasty but more heart friendly variant of the oatmeal cookie. The family loves this oatty, nutty, cherry vanilla taste but we love even more that this is much lower in sodium and that the applesauce and flax seed cuts down the fat.They are good day one but keep some around for day two, that's when they are special!

I love the tartness of the cherries in these bars. They're the perfect balance to the sweetness of the chocolate.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I can fix that by reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These bars were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter to the crust next time.

The oat crust was too crumbly for my liking. I think I'll try using a different recipe for the crust next time.
