Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and diced
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced apple and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and pressing down lightly with a spatula to ensure it's compact and even.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 9

Once cooled, slice into 12 bars. These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
