Calories: 154kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 scoops ON Gold Standard Plant Based Protein Vanilla
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon divided
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp arrowroot flour
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and sliced (300 grams)
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup divided
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a 8x8" baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Add sliced apples, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, lemon juice, and 1 tbsp maple syrup to a pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower heat to a simmer for about 8-10 minutes.  The apples should be tender but not soft.
  • Whisk 1/2 tsp arrowroot flour with 2 tbsp of cold water.  Pour into apple mixture and stir immediately.  Bring mixture back to a boil, then remove from heat, stirring occasionally.  Set aside.
  • Mix remaining dry ingredients, then add wet ingredients and mix until combined.
  • Pour 3/4 of oat mixture into lined baking dish and spread evenly.  Top with apple slices, then add spoonfuls of remaining oat mixture on top of apples.  Bake for 30-35 minutes or until top begins to turn golden brown.
  • Allow bars to cool for at least 10 minutes, then remove to a cutting board using parchment paper. Slice into 9 pieces.
  • Top with peanut butter or maple syrup before serving, if desired.

Notes

If you'd prefer to use whey protein instead of plant-based, reduce the amount of almond milk you use by half.
