Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and diced
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
Gently fold in the diced apple and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and pressing down lightly with a spatula to ensure it's compact and even.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, slice into 12 bars. These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
