Super Easy Peanut Butter Baby Bars

Ingredients

• 1.5 cup of quick oats 
• ½ cup of desiccated or shredded coconut 
• ½ cup of puree apple (can also use pumpkin, sweet potato or banana)
• ¼ cup of flour 
• 3 tbs peanut butter 
• 1 tsp vanilla 
• ¼ tsp cinnamon 
• ¼ tsp ground ginger (optional)
• 1/8 tsp baking powder 
• 2 tbs chia seeds 
• 6 tablespoons of water

Optional: You could also add diced prunes or chia jam through these before baking.

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 160 degrees Celsius and line a brownie tin with baking paper 
• Pop everything but ½ a cup of the oats into the food processor and blend. If it is a little thick (we are aiming for a cookie dough type texture, then add in some more water). Mix in the last cup of oats with a spoon; doing this gives it a little more texture than just blending it all together. 
• Spread your mix into your tray and then press it down with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with coconut and oats before baking for 20-30 minutes. Slice while still warm and then allow to cool.
