Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened cinnamon applesauce and natural peanut or almond butter until smooth and uniform.

Gently fold in the quick oats until all oats are evenly coated and incorporated.

Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly, pressing down firmly.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until the surface is dry and lightly golden.

Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then lift them out and cut into squares or rectangles.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
