Almond Flour – Almond flour is gluten-free, slightly sweet, and makes chewy, tender bakes. It is low in carbs and high in both fiber and protein.
Gluten-Free Flour Blend – A secondary flour helps act as a binder for the almond flour and additional ingredients. Use your favorite brand or make your own!
Rolled Oats – Rolled oats are one of the healthiest grains in the world! They add vitamins, minerals, and texture to these breakfast bars.
Mixture of Chia Seeds, Hemp Seeds, & Sliced Almonds – Chia and hemps seeds have an amazing nutritional content for being so tiny. Both are considered superfoods and have been eaten for their health benefits for thousands of years! Sliced almonds are a very nutritious nut, as well, and give a great crunch to this recipe.
Wet Ingredients
Milk – Pick your favorite kind, whether cow, oat, almond, or coconut!
Applesauce – Applesauce provides both sweetness and binding ability for the Almond Flour Breakfast Bars.
Maple Syrup – Just a touch of maple syrup is needed for sweetness. You can also use granulated sugar, coconut sugar, or other sweetener of choice.
Butter – Butter gives a deeper flavor profile for these bars, as well as helps them bake properly in the oven.
Mashed Berries – What’s your favorite berry? Use it for this recipe or experiment with different flavor combos! We chose blueberries and raspberries, but strawberries or blackberries would be divine, as well!
