Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Large Zucchini
  • 1/2 Cup Milk
  • 1/2 Cup Applesauce
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 3 Cups Oats
  • 3/4 Cup Honey
  • 1 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 Tsps Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Tsp Sea Salt
  • 2 Tsps Vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Blend zucchini, applesauce, and milk in a blender on medium for about 30 seconds. Blend until the zucchini is speckled into the milk and applesauce mixture but not completely smooth.
  • Add oats, honey, vanilla, eggs, cinnamon, sea salt, and baking powder to the blender. Mix on medium for another 30 seconds, being careful not to overmix to maintain the oat texture.
  • Pour the batter into a parchment-lined baking dish (use a 5x9-inch pan)
  • Bake for approximately 30 minutes, adjusting the cooking time based on the size of your baking dish.
  • Cool, Slice, and Enjoy! Let the bars cool before slicing for the best texture.

Notes

Add-ins:
Feel free to mix in extras like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit for added texture and flavor. You can also add some flax seeds or chia seeds for an extra boost of nutrients.
Texture:
Don’t overmix the batter to maintain the oat texture. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend it longer, but be aware it will alter the final texture of the bars.
Muffin Conversion:
To make muffins, simply pour the batter into a muffin tin and bake at 350°F for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Freezing:
If you have extra bars, freeze them for up to 3 months. Just wrap them individually and store them in a freezer-safe container. Thaw them in the fridge or microwave for a quick snack or breakfast!
