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 large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, ground flaxseed, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and applesauce until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix well until a thick dough forms.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries, chopped nuts, and dark chocolate chips.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it down firmly and evenly using a spatula or your hands.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bars are set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares or rectangles.

Step 9

Store the breakfast cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
