Apple Almond Granola Bars
Ingredients
  • ½ cup of almond butter (or nut butter of choice, keeping in mind the flavor will change)
  • ¼ cup of honey or maple syrup, we used buckwheat honey (our fav)
  • ½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups of whole rolled oats (not quick)
  • 1 cup of peeled and chopped apple
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper (this makes it soooo much easier to get the bars out).
  2. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and press into the pan. This can be sticky, so if you have an offset spatula, use it! If not, wet your hands and press the mixture to fit the pan
  3. Bake for about 18-20 minutes until slightly brown and firmer to touch
  4. Let cool for 10 minutes in pan, and then remove by lifting the parchment. Let cool before cutting (alternatively can place in fridge and cut once cold)
  5. Use a large knife and cut in half (down the middle) and then cut into 4 pieces (totaling 8).
  6. Eat right away or store in the fridge.
