  • Total Time
    40 mins

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of richly packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup of creamy peanut butter
  • 5 tablespoons of golden corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup of homemade applesauce
  • 2 teaspoons of fragrant vanilla extract
  • 3 cups of wholesome rolled oats
  • 1 cup of indulgent chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup of fluffy miniature marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup of crispy toasted oat cereal rings
  • 2/3 cup of nutty wheat germ

Step 1

To kick off this delightful baking adventure, set your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and give some love to a 9x13 inch baking pan with a nice greasing.

Step 2

In a spacious bowl, blend together the rich brown sugar, nutty peanut butter, sweet corn syrup, fruity applesauce, and a hint of vanilla. Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix up the hearty oats, luscious chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, crunchy cereal rings, and nutritious wheat germ. Gently fold the dry mix into the peanut butter concoction until everything is beautifully coated. Carefully press this heavenly mixture into the awaiting pan.

Step 3

Let this masterpiece bake for around 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until it takes on a lovely golden hue. Once done, allow it to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Finally, cut into bars and savor every bite of your homemade treat!
