Total Time55 minutes
Servings: 16 Bars

Ingredients

For the Bars:

  • 1 cup quick cooking rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup tapioca flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice or sub for nutmeg
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • ½ cup avocado oil
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk or sub non-dairy milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a 9x9 baking pan with a parchment sling and coat the edges with avocado oil cooking spray. Set aside.

For the Bars:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, almond flour, tapioca, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg for about 1 minute until light and frothy. Whisk in the avocado oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, fold in the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. The dough should be thick and sticky, similar to a cookie dough or blondie batter.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Using a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon, smooth the dough into an even layer.
  • Transfer the pan to the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden and a toothpick comes out clean when the center is tested. Allow to cool entirely in the pan.

For the Glaze:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, almond milk, vanilla, and salt. The icing will be quite thick. Pour the icing over the bars. Using the back of a spoon, smooth the icing into an even layer. Allow the icing to set at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  • Using the parchment sling, lift the bars from the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 9 or 16 squares, using a sharp knife and cleaning it between cuts. The bars are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for 3 days.
