Ingredients

Dry ingredients

375 ml (1 ½ cups) gluten-free large flake oats
2 servings (about 60 g) vanilla protein powder
30 ml (2 tbsp) chia seeds
45 ml (3 tbsp) ground flax seeds
5 ml (1 tsp) baking powder
5 ml (1 tsp) cinnamon
Zest of 2 lemons
A pinch of salt

Wet ingredients

125 ml (½ cup) unsweetened applesauce
125 ml (½ cup) plain 0% M.F. Greek yogurt
60 ml (¼ cup) maple syrup
Juice of half a lemon (30 ml / 2 tbsp)
2 egg whites
30 ml (1 tbsp) natural almond butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
250 ml (1 cup) fresh or frozen blueberries

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a 20 cm (8 in) square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make unmolding easier.
In a large bowl, mix the oats, protein powder, chia seeds, ground flax seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, and lemon zest.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, lemon juice, egg whites, almond butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until the oats are fully combine. The mixture will be thick and dense.
Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to prevent discoloring the batter.
Transfer the mixture to the pan and press evenly using the back of a spoon. Bake for 25 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
Let cool completely in the pan before unmolding. Then cut into 10 bars.
