Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray and set aside.
Put 2 cups of the quick oats in a blender or food processor and blend until you’ve created oat flour.
Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and stir to combine.
Add applesauce, maple syrup, flaxseed, coconut oil and vanilla and mix well until combined.
Gently fold in about ¾ cup of the chopped apples.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Scatter remaining apple chunks on top, gently pressing them down.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the bars are cooked through and a toothpick insured comes out clean.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 8 bars and serving.
