Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, unsweetened applesauce, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Add the egg to the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or your hands.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper (if used) and cut into 12 equal pieces. Serve and enjoy!
