Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats with honey or maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are smooth and well combined.
  3. Sprinkle in the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir everything together until incorporated. If adding nuts or dried fruit, fold them in gently.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the bars to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for about two weeks. They can be reheated in the microwave for a few seconds.
