Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and line a square 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the raisins to the dry mixture and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated and form a slightly sticky dough.
Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to press it down evenly and firmly into the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18β20 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before lifting it out using the parchment paper.
Slice into 8 even pieces and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
