How to Make Berry Breakfast Power Bar

1. Peel and chop 2 large apples. Place in a saucepan with 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until apples are very soft.
2. In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup vegan margarine, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup maple syrup over medium-low heat. Remove from heat.
3. Add 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen) to the warm mixture and stir gently. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow berries to plump up.
4. Add the cooked apples, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans), 1/4 cup chia seeds, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the saucepan.
5. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
6. Line a 30cm x 20cm baking pan with parchment paper. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
7. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares and transferring to a wire rack to cool further.
