Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats or oat flour
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9"x 9" baking sheet with parchment paper and grease the sides with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, quinoa, sugar, baking powder, and spices.
- In a separate bowl, mix the applesauce, nut butter and flax eggs. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients, mixing everything together until fully incorporated. The batter should be moist, but not runny.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Arrange apple slices over top.
- Bake on the center rack for 35 - 40 minutes until the bars are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove and let cool completely in the pan, then remove and slice into squares (or rectangles). Store in an airtight container for 4 - 5 days.
Notes
* If you use vanilla extract instead of vanilla powder, mix it into the wet ingredients not dry.
