01
Mix and Press Bars
Start by lining a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to keep everything from sticking. In a big bowl, mix together the applesauce, maple syrup, and almond butter until smooth. Then add the oat flour, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and protein powder, stirring everything until it’s well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Pop it in the fridge and let it chill for about an hour so it firms up nicely. Once it’s set, cut into 30 squares and wrap each piece in parchment paper for easy grab-and-go snacks.
