  Gluten-Free Oatmeal Applesauce Snack Cake

  

  If you are like we are at my house, everyone is looking for snacks.
  
  Personally, I like snacks that are healthier and good too!
  
  To accomplish that, I usually try to make something with more fiber and less refined sugar so I won't worry about "health issues" when the “munchies” attack.
  
  The applesauce, oatmeal and raisins in this recipe provide fiber, vitamins and other "health conscious" nutrients. And, to make it sweet, the fructose sugar in the apples and raisins provide a positively lovely, delicate sweetness and aroma. The brown rice syrup adds more sweetness and helps the bars stick together.
  
  This snack cake is easy to make. It works well for snacks, lunch boxes and it even works well with yogurt. Of course, it's a "no-brainer" to have or serve it with a big glass of milk.
