Ingredients
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 2/3 cup vegan protein powder , vanilla flavored
- 2 Tablespoons almond butter , creamy
- 3 Tablespoons baking dates
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon pure almond extract
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats , gluten free if needed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine first 7 ingredients in saucepan on stove over medium heat, stir together - it will be paste like consistency.
- Combine oats and salt in large bowl. Pour your saucepan ingredients into your oat bowl. Mix really well! This will use a little muscle to do, but can be done!
- Pour onto prepared pan, spread out, break up clumps. Bake for 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes - this is a key step! It prevents the edge pieces from burning and also as you stir you can continue to break up the clumps so it bakes evenly. After 60 minutes, if it is still not your desired crispness, add another 10 minutes. But check! You don’t want it to burn.
- Cool on wire rack. Enjoy as a snack by itself or in your favorite smoothie or chia seed bowl! I love to sprinkle mine on a chia seed pudding bowl with some homemade fruit jam and bananas.
