Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
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'.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 4
Add in the thickened flaxseed mixture, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined.
Step 5
Fold in the chopped apples, and if using, the raisins and chopped nuts.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and set.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 9
Once cooled, cut into bars and enjoy!
Step 10
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
