Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup shredded apple
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 units large eggs
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the shredded carrots, shredded apple, chopped walnuts, raisins, and unsweetened shredded coconut to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mix-ins are evenly distributed.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. The batter will be thick.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or a 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

Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before lifting the parchment paper out of the pan and cutting the bars into 12 equal pieces.

Step 9

Store the Morning Glory Breakfast Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
