Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 medium Grated apple (peeled and cored)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the mixture is just combined.

Step 5

Fold in the grated apple and chopped walnuts (if using). Make sure the apple pieces are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before cutting it into 12 squares.

Step 9

Store the snack squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week.
