Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 cup (200g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (120g) oat flour
  • 3/4 cup (110g) coconut sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3 tbsp ground flax + 6 tbsp water
  • 1 cup (240g) nut or seed butter (I used almond butter)
  • 1 cup (240g) unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas (or frozen and defrosted)
  • 1/4 cup (20g) cacao powder

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Stir together the flax and water to make the flax egg. Set aside to gel.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, oat flour, coconut sugar, salt, and baking soda.
  • Add the applesauce, almond butter, flax eggs, and vanilla.
  • Mix to combine.
  • Spread into an 8×8″ square baking pan that has bee sprayed with nonstick spray or coconut oil.
  • Blend the banana and cocoa powder.
  • Spoon on top of the oatmeal bars and spread/swirl to cover. Sprinkle with chocolate chips if desired.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350F.
  • Remove from the oven and cool completely before slicing (or they will be too crumbly).
  • Enjoy! Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
