Apple Harvest Breakfast Bars
Apples for breakfast - in these bars your kids might think it's dessert, but you'll know it's a nourishing meal.
Servings: 16 bars
Ingredients
- 4 cups oats Not quick oats. If you are gluten free be sure the oats say gluten free.
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup almond flour If you are nut free see the Tips section for swaps
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut shreds
- 1 TB cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 3 small/medium apples chopped (I just pulse them up quick in the food processor.)
Instructions
- The night before you want to make the bars, get the oats and lemon juice into a large mixing bowl. Fill it up with water to cover the oats – enough that can you stir it and the oats are submerged. Set the bowl under the light in your oven or a warm spot in your kitchen over night – this soaking process makes the oats easier on your gut to digest.
- The next morning, get the rest of your ingredients into the mixing bowl with the soaked oats and stir to combine.
- Spread the batter on to a silpat lined or buttered large jelly roll pan, and cut into the size bars you want.
- Bake at 375 for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool before serving.
