Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup Diced apple (peeled and cored)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, honey, and melted coconut oil until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well incorporated.
Fold in the diced apple until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper and cutting them into bars.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
