Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose or white-wheat flour (love this flour!)
• 1 cup old-fashioned / rolled oats
• ¾ cup packed light brown sugar (see post above for lower glycemic alternative)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup dairy-free margarine, melted (see post above for alternative)
• 1 cup apple butter or organic apple butter (if within budget)

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan. Line with heavy-duty foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides to facilitate removal of bars from pan. Grease foil or parchment.
• In a medium-size or large bowl, mix the flour, oats, sugar and salt until all ingredients are well-distributed. Stir in the margarine with a fork until well mixed and clumps form.
• Press half of the oatmeal mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan to make a thin crust.
• Evenly spread the apple butter atop the crust, then sprinkle the remaining oatmeal mixture on top.
• Bake until crisp and golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes.
• Let cool completely before using the parchment or foil to remove the bars from the pan in one big piece. Cut into squares.
