Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 units large eggs
- 0.75 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the bars.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and sea salt. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, almond extract, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
Fold in the sliced almonds, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top before baking.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, using the back of a spoon or spatula to smooth the top.
Sprinkle the reserved sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the almond bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into bars and serve.
