Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free oats
  • 1 cup almond flour (I used NuNaturals Green Banana Flour)
  • 1/2 cup hemp seed
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt (if you aren’t using them during runs use 1/4 tsp)
  • 1/2 cup mini carob chips dairy-free

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nut butter any nut butter you like (almond butter, peanut butter, etc)
  • 6 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • Vanilla NuStevia to taste
  • 1 egg (large) OR 1 flax egg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl or using a food processor, stir or blend all the wet ingredients together.
  • Pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and carefully fold them together using a spatula.
  • Using a cookie dough scoop, place portions of the mixture onto a baking sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. These won't expand much during baking, so feel free to flatten them if you prefer a less ball-shaped result.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes.
  • For optimal freshness, store the energy bars in the refrigerator.
