1 cup plus 2 tablespoons superfine almond flour (112 grams)
½ cup oat fiber (48 grams)
1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
½ teaspoon vanilla extract or use ¼ teaspoon of vanilla and about ¼ to ½ teaspoon apple flavoring
1 large egg
2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup like Birch Benders or Lakanto
6 tablespoons Magic Baker or Swerve sweetener 80 grams
2 tablespoon raisins optional – or swap with chopped pecans or dried apple

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment or foil and lightly grease.
Mix together the almond flour, oat fiber, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk the applesauce, egg, maple syrup, sweetener and vanilla until well combined.
Stir dry mixture into wet mixture, then stir in raisins, dried apples and/or nuts.
Press evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges look golden.
Cool in pan before slicing into bars.

The macros are very rough estimates. Also, this is for unfrosted bars. The frosting is optional and you may not need it anyway.
