Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups rolled oats ((250 grams))
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups diced apples ((235 grams - 1 large apple))
• 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped ((50 grams))
• 1/3 apple, thinly sliced ((about 60 grams))
• oil, for greasing

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8×8 baking dish with oil and set aside.
2. Mix ingredients. In a large bowl, add the wet ingredients of eggs, milk, apple sauce, honey, and vanilla, and mix well to combine. Add your dry ingredients of oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt, and mix well to combine. Stir in diced apples and walnuts. I like to save a few walnuts for topping.
3. Bake. Pour the oat mixture into the greased pan. Top with sliced apples and remaining walnuts. I like to sprinkle a little cinnamon on top. Bake for 35-40 minutes until firm and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes and slice into 9 equal-sized bars.
4. Enjoy! Serve as is or with a dollop of greek yogurt and a drizzle of nut butter.
