Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond, but any kind will do nicely)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon pure almond extract
- ½ cup strawberries (hulled and quartered)
- ¼ cup roasted almonds roughly chopped
Instructions
- With a rack in the center of the oven preheat it to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat an 8x8 inch square pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the milk, applesauce, egg, honey, almond butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir to combine. The batter will be very wet.
- Fold in the diced strawberries and almonds, then pour into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until the bars are thickened and golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, cut into bars, and serve.

Notes
- TO STORE: Once cooled, bars can be wrapped individually in plastic and kept in the refrigerator for 5 days.
- TO FREEZE: Keep frozen in a zip-top bag for up to 4 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours before serving.
- BIG BATCH BAKING: For a larger yield, increase the ingredient quantities by 1.5 and bake in a 9x13 inch pan for 25-30 minutes.
