Makes 9-16 bars, depending on what size you cut them

These gluten-free snack bars are made with wholesome ingredients and are great for after-school snacking or can be a healthy lunch box treat.  To make them nut-free, simply use sunflower seed butter in place of the peanut butter.

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup shredded apple (one medium apple)

1/4 cup peanut butter (try to get a brand with very few ingredients. I would say 3 or less)

1/2 cup honey

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9×9 baking dish and set aside.

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well.  Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and use the back of a wooden spoon or a spatula to press it down evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are just barely browned.  Allow to cool before cutting into squares.
