Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth and no lumps remain.
Fold in the chopped almonds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with 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.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into 12 bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
