Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 egg whites
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup seedless raisins
- Coconut butter for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, almond flour, protein powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond milk, applesauce, honey, egg whites, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Gently fold in the raisins.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 22-25 minutes until the top starts to brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 15-20 minutes in the pan.
- Once cool, drizzle coconut butter over the top. Cut into bars, remove from the pan, and store in a container. The bars will keep in the fridge for up to one week.
