Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
• 0.5 cup slivered almonds
• 2 pieces egg white
• 0.25 cup low-fat milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, old-fashioned oats, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg whites until smooth.

Step 4

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gradually add in the low-fat milk and continue to stir until the batter is uniformly moist.

Step 5

Fold in the slivered almonds to the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.

Step 9

Cut into 12 equal bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
