Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a big bowl, combine the oats, raisins, wheat germ, both flours, cocoa powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and a pinch of salt. Create a little well in the center of the dry ingredients.

Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, honey, egg, and vanilla until everything is blended nicely. Pour this wet mixture into the well you made, then use two spoons to mix everything together until it’s fully combined.

Step 3
Press the mixture evenly into your prepared pan, then pop it in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the bars feel firm to the touch. Once out of the oven, let it cool in the pan for around 10 minutes before cutting into 12 bars.
