Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried apples
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the oats, dried apples, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk the honey, applesauce, and almond butter in a separate bowl until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and fold just until combined.
  5. Press firmly into the pan; bake 20 to 25 minutes, until edges are golden.
  6. Cool completely in the pan, then lift out and slice into 8 bars.

Notes

Let the bars cool fully before slicing, or they will crumble. If the dough seems dry when mixing, add a teaspoon of applesauce at a time to bring it together. These travel well and soften slightly after a day in the fridge.
