Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Shredded carrots
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded carrots, almond flour, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and unsweetened almond milk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly mixed. Make sure no dry oats or flour remain at the bottom of the bowl.
Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into 12 squares or bars.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
