Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.33 cup Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, brown sugar, and whole wheat flour until well combined.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, honey, egg whites, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the mixture is evenly moist.
Stir in the baking soda and salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, spreading them out evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing down firmly to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes.
Once cooled, cut into 12 bars. Keep stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
