Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg
• 1 cups Chopped apple (peeled and cored)
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts

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 rolled oats, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped apple and walnuts to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, cut into 12 bars and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
