Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 cup Diced apple (peeled and cored)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, honey, and melted coconut oil until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well incorporated.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apple until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper and cutting them into bars.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
