Ingredients in these Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bars:

Rolled Oats – be sure to use rolled oats for this recipe. Quick oats or instant oats will not yield the same results and will cause the texture/baking time to vary.

Oat Flour – if you don’t have oat flour on hand, you can make your own simply by finely grinding oats in a food processor

Applesauce – I used organic, unsweetened applesauce for this recipe to keep it refined sugar free

Almond Butter – creamy almond butter works best for this recipe. You can substitute with creamy peanut butter or cashew butter.

Flax Egg – you can substitute a regular egg if not vegan

Almond milk – feel free to substitute your favourite nut milk

Vanilla Extract, Cinnamon – add those delicious cozy flavours

Baking Powder

Apples – finely chopped. I used honeycrisp, but any apples will work!
