Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond, but any kind will do nicely)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
  • 1/2 cup strawberries (hulled and quartered)
  • 1/4 cup roasted almonds roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • With a rack in the center of the oven preheat it to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat an 8x8 inch square pan with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the milk, applesauce, egg, honey, almond butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir to combine. The batter will be very wet.
  • Fold in the diced strawberries and almonds, then pour into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until the bars are thickened and golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, cut into bars, and serve.

Notes

  • TO STORE: Once cooled, bars can be wrapped individually in plastic and kept in the refrigerator for 5 days.
  • TO FREEZE: Keep frozen in a zip-top bag for up to 4 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours before serving.
  • BIG BATCH BAKING: For a larger yield, increase the ingredient quantities by 1.5 and bake in a 9x13 inch pan for 25-30 minutes.
