Applesauce Oatmeal Bars
malzemeler
- 1⅓ bardaklar Eski Tarz Yulaf Ezmesi - (not 1)
- 1⅓ bardaklar Şekersiz elma suyu - (not 2)
- ½ Fincan Fıstık ezmesi - (not 3)
Optional – recommended to pick 1, or all options for flavors
- 1 çay kaşığı Tarçın - (not 4)
- ½ Fincan Kuru Üzüm - (not 5)
- 1 çay kaşığı Vanilya Özü
- ⅓ Fincan Kıyılmış fındık - (not 6)
talimatlar
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch x 8-inch pan with parchment paper. Oil with oil spray. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add oats, applesauce, peanut butter, and any optional ingredients you like for a boost of flavor. I often add cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
- Stir with a rubber spatula a few times, until everything is very well combined, and it forms a thick, lightly wet batter. The batter gets a bit less wet as you stir, and as the oat fibers absorb the moisture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, press firmly with the back of a rubber spatula to form an even bar.
- Bake the bars for 25-35 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bar comes out clean.
- Let them cool down in the pan, at room temperature, for 10 minutes, then for 2 hours on a cooling rack before slicing. If you slice it hot or lukewarm, the bars crumble a little bit more. I recommend being patient, even popping the pan for 30 minutes in the fridge before slicing for easier cutting.
- Cut it into 9 bars and serve them plain or, if not sweet enough, serve on a plate with a dollop of dairy-free vanilla yogurt on top for a protein boost, berries, or banana slices, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Malzemeler ve Değişiklikler
You only need 3 simple ingredients to make this recipe. Here’s how to pick and swap them.

- Eski Tarz Yulaf Ezmesi – This is the main ingredient that forms the structure of the bars. They provide a lot of fiber and a nice, chewy texture. You can also use quick oats or quinoa flakes.
- Şekersiz elma suyu – This ingredient provides natural sweetness and moisture while acting as a binder, so you don’t need eggs or oil in the batter. You can also use mashed banana for a sweeter result.
- Fıstık ezmesi – The peanut butter adds a rich, nutty flavor, helps hold the bars together, and provides a good source of protein and fat. You can also use almond butter, cashew butter, or for a nut-free option, sunflower seed butter.
- Tarçın – This warming spice pairs perfectly with the applesauce and adds a classic fall flavor. You can also use pumpkin pie spice.
- Kuru Üzüm – These add pockets of natural sweetness and a chewy texture to the bars. Finely chopped dates or dried cranberries also work well.
- Vanilya Özü – This enhances the overall flavor with a warm, aromatic note.
- Kıyılmış fındık – Adding nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds provides a satisfying crunch and a boost of flavor and healthy fats.
How to Make Applesauce Oatmeal Bars




Carine’s Baking Tips
Let me share a few more tips for perfect oatmeal bars.
- Customize the Flavors – The base recipe is great on its own, but you can also stir in mix-ins like dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, goji berries, or mini chocolate chips) for sweetness, or chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, pistachios, or almonds) for a crunchy texture and a boost of healthy fats.
- Protein Desteği Ekleyin – For a protein boost, you can stir in high-protein seeds like hemp seeds or add 2 to 3 tablespoons of your favorite protein powder. I recommend not adding more than that, as it can make the bars dry or crumbly.
- Sunum Önerileri – If you want to make them sweeter, serve the bars with a drizzle of maple or date syrup, fresh berries, or sliced bananas on top.
- Make Them Sweeter – For a sweeter version of these bars, simply add 1/4 cup of coconut sugar or another granulated sweetener to the batter before baking.







I only cooked 25 min because the toothpick was clean, but they were still very moist and fell apart. If I cooked them longer, would it have held together better? They still taste good, and they’ll get eaten. I was just wondering for next time.
You need to bake them until it’s nicely dry and golden brown. If too sot, it means it needs a longer baking time. The reason why yours might take longer to bake could be the quality of your pan, the oven temperature, the type of apples used for applesauce.
Love this recipe. I have a peanut allergy so I used sunbutter and added craisins and pecans. The hubby was hesitant (he wanted oatmeal cookies) but he loved it also.
Very easy to make and cleanup was easy. I added about 10 extra minutes to add extra crunchiness.
I love sunflower seed butter too, such a great swap to peanut butter.
Amazing recipes!! Thank you
Thank you! I am so happy you love the bars.
I used dried diced apples, a slightly larger pan, pressed in two pecan halves per bar, drizzled with maple syrup, and scored the bars before baking.. I think they’re going to be awesome! thanks so much for the recipe!!
It sounds delicious!
can you make the oats into flour first??
You can but the texture will be dense, and dry.
I did make flour first and it turned out great and the texture is so much better.
I am so glad you enjoy them like that!
I’m on a really strict diet & can’t have any nuts, seeds or Tahini. do you have any other suggestions for substitutes? dairy & coconut are also out of the question. do you think smashed chickpeas could work?
The recipe only have 3 ingredient so it’s very hard to adapt based on this restriction I am sorry. You must use a nut butter or it won’t stick together.
If I wanted to use applesauce and banana, what proportions would I use?
You can swap applesauce by mashed banana in same amount.
These are super delicious! I’ve made them dozens of times and always yummy however they crumble sooo much… I’ve tried many different things and still … any suggestions what else to do so they don’t crumble as much?
Thank you for making my recipes so many times! You can use a thinner oat texture, like quick oats, and cool down the bar in the fridge before cutting.
How much mashed banana would I need to replace the apple sauce?
Usually, same amount is fine, but I would rather use my banana oatmeal bar recipe it has been exactly designed to use banana.
These are terrific! Soft and chewy and tasty with simple, healthy ingredients that I already eat. They go great with some Greek yogurt. I forgot to add cinnamon, so next time I’ll do that and walnuts.
Thank you! I hope you try adding cinnamon and walnuts next time, it adds such a nice taste and texture! Let me know.
I made the oatmeal bars again but this time I remembered the cinnamon and added walnuts. They came out delicious! So nice and moist. I will definitely be making them more often!
Such a great combination of flavors!
