Delicious One Bowl Applesauce Oat Bars
Looking for a healthy homemade toddler snack? These applesauce oat bars are made in one bowl with minimal sugar, and are full of fiber and fruit. Great for on-the-go snacks and easy to freeze for later, you'll love these oatmeal applesauce bars with strawberries.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¼ cup brown sugar + 2 Tablespoons
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 Tablespoons ground flax optional
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup applesauce unsweetened
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup strawberries, diced optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients.
- Add wet ingredients to the same bowl (or place them in a separate bowl) and stir well, adding diced strawberries in last. If using separate bowls, add wet ingredients to dry ingredients.
- Transfer oatmeal applesauce mixture to greased 8x8 baking pan or use a piece of parchment paper.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until fork comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
To store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
To freeze: Place bars in a freezer-friendly tupperware container or stasher bag and freeze for up to 3 months. I like to freeze them between parchment paper so they don't stick.
