Cherry Chocolate Oat Bars image

A tasty but more heart friendly variant of the oatmeal cookie. The family loves this oatty, nutty, cherry vanilla taste but we love even more that this is much lower in sodium and that the applesauce and flax seed cuts down the fat.They are good day one but keep some around for day two, that's when they are special!
