1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

24 bars at 110 calories each. (64 calories!! without the chocolate chips)
This recipe appeared in my reader one morning and I jumped up and made a batch right away. I was that stoked for something wholesome and simple and new to feed the kids in the morning. I was out of chocolate chips so I used carmel bits and pecans and it was delish. The perfect accompaniment to a berry smoothie in the morning and they held up so well I think I’ll make some to take with us on a VERY LONG road trip I’ll be telling you about real soon.
The base of this recipe was so tasty I’m going to try making some banana bread out of it too.
The kids & I baked this together so it is a very kid-friendly recipe and just in time for back to school. Oh yeah & speaking of back to school, I’m guest posting over at Simply Modern Mom today with a ton of ideas on what to pack for school lunches. I hope you’ll head over and check it out, it’s my first guest post and I’m a little nervous.
