How to Make Apple Breakfast Bar Gluten Free Vegan Options

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (or whole wheat flour), ¾ cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed), ¾ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option: 2 tbsp flaxseed meal + 6 tbsp water).
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Peel, core, and dice 2 medium apples (about 2 cups). Gently fold the diced apples into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared 9x13 inch pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting.
  8. Once cooled, cut the bars into 12 larger bars (or cut in half one way and then into quarters the other way for 16 smaller bars).
