Ingredients

• 2 cups Grape-Nuts cereal
• 1 cup Oats (quick-cooking or old-fashioned)
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Stevia or erythritol sweetener
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Grape-Nuts cereal, oats, almond flour, ground cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, unsweetened almond milk, and stevia or erythritol sweetener until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added crunch and flavor.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 equal pieces.

Step 8

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
