Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8" square pan with nonstick spray, or line with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, stir together the oil and applesauce until smooth. Mix in the milk, honey and cinnamon until thoroughly combined.

Stir in the oats until evenly coated with the applesauce mixture. Gently fold in the raspberries.

Press the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on top. Cool to room temperature and slice into 9 bars.
