Apple Oat Bars
Soft, chewy Apple Oat Bars made with applesauce, peanut butter, and oat flour. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup, these bars are a perfect snack, breakfast, or on-the-go treat for toddlers. Customize with berries or chocolate chips for extra flavor!
Servings: 9 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup applesauce
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 cups oat flour (just blend rolled oats)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- pick a mix in: chocolate chips, berries, or drizzle chocolate on top after baking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together the applesauce, peanut butter, oat flour, and maple syrup until well combined.
- Add in your chosen mix-ins. I highly recommend not skipping this step! The bars are only lightly sweet and by adding chocolate chips or berries, you add a lot more flavor and sweetness.
- Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly. Press the mixture evenly into the pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until set and lightly golden.
- Let the bars cool completely before slicing into squares. If desired, drizzle melted chocolate on top after cooling for extra flavor.
Notes
My kids love the chocolate drizzle!
