Apple Pie Oatmeal Bars

Preheat oven to 350F. In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs. Then add in 2 chopped apples, 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free recommended), 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon nut butter of choice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and optional 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder or collagen. Mix it all together with a spatula. Line a brownie pan with parchment paper, pour the mixture in, and smooth it down with a knife. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes. Reheat and top with peanut butter if desired. Can be paired with sautéed cinnamon apples (made with coconut oil + cinnamon) and plain yogurt.
