Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled old fashioned oats (use gluten free if needed)
- 2/3 cup chopped pecan pieces
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup
- 3 Tblsp of Nut Based Milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond)
- 3 Tblsp unsweetened applesauce
- 1 Tbsp
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract*
- 1/2 tsp of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place oats in large mixing bowl. Add pecans and salt and toss to distribute evenly.
- In small saucepan combine maple syrup, vanilla protein powder, nut based milk, maca powder, unsweetened applesauce and extracts. Over medium heat, melt ingredients together - the mixture will be thick. Pour over oat mixture and stir until well combined.
- Spread evenly on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 45 - 55 minutes stirring every 15 minutes.
- Cool on wire rack. Store in an airtight container in fridge or on counter. (I prefer to store mine in the fridge)
Notes
- *you can omit the almond extract and substitute with another teaspoon of vanilla extract (so you would use 2 tsp vanilla extract total)
