Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chopped apple
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are well mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Add the chopped apple and almond milk to the mixture and fold them in until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon, pressing it down gently.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the oat mixture, pressing them in lightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 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 in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove them from the pan using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut the oat bars into 12 equal pieces and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer storage.
