Notes
- These apple pie oat bars can be frozen in an airtight container for up to four months.
- For a softer bar use all quick cook oats
- If you use all traditional rolled oats the resulting bar is yummy but can be a little crumbly.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into bars or squares.
Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Egg/Chia seeds: You can use either an egg or chia seeds to bind this recipe
- Butter/oil: you can use either melted butter or melted coconut oil in this recipe.
- Oatmeal: I like to use a combination of both quick cook and traditional rolled oats, I find this gives these oat bars the best texture. You can make them with all quick cook oats or all traditional rolled oats.
- Applesauce: I use unsweetened apple sauce, apple purée or apple baby food can also be used.
