Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 5 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chopped apples
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens to form a flax 'egg'.
In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Add in the thickened flaxseed mixture, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined.
Fold in the chopped apples, and if using, the raisins and chopped nuts.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and set.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut into bars and enjoy!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
