Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray a 8x8 inch baking dish with oil and set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together the apple sauce, peanut butter, vanilla, cinnamon, coconut oil and eggs. If the coconut oil solidifies, pop the bowl into the microwave and warm on 20 second increments until it melts back in.

Mix in the cooked quinoa, rolled oats and baking powder until completely incorporated. Fold in the apple last.

Step 4

Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it to each corner and pressing down gently. Press 9 almonds into the top of the bars.

Step 5

Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 6

Cool completely before slicing and storing.
