For the Oat Base
- 2 cups Rolled oats Use old-fashioned oats for the best chewy texture.
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour Adds a hearty, nutty flavor.
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder Helps the squares rise.
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon Infuses warm spice.
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt Enhances all flavors.
For the Wet Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Tahini Brings a creamy, nutty richness.
- 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup Sweetens naturally.
- 1 large Egg Binds ingredients together.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds depth of sweetness.
For the Apple Layer
- 3 cups Fresh apples Choose a crisp, tart variety.
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice Keeps the apple chunks from browning.
- 2 tablespoon Brown sugar Sprinkled lightly to caramelize.
Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until combined.
In another bowl, whisk tahini, honey or maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
Press half of the oat mixture into the prepared pan, creating an even layer.
Toss chopped apples with lemon juice and brown sugar in a bowl.
Spread the apple mixture over the oat base and sprinkle the remaining oat mix on top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Let the pan rest for 15 minutes, then lift squares out using the parchment overhang and cool completely before slicing.
