Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Whole rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Raw almonds, chopped
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Applesauce, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, rolled oats, chopped almonds, baking powder, baking soda, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the almond bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into 12 squares or bars. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
