Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Shredded carrots
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded carrots, almond flour, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and unsweetened almond milk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly mixed. Make sure no dry oats or flour remain at the bottom of the bowl.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into 12 squares or bars.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
