½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp fine sea salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
½ tsp ground ginger
½ cup coconut oil, solid at room temperature
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the apple filling

3 medium apples (about 1 ½ lb), peeled, cored, and cut into ¼-inch dice
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp tapioca starch
1 tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground cardamom
1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides to use as handles for lifting the bars out later.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, rice flour, 1/4 cup tapioca starch, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 tsp ground ginger until evenly combined. Add the solid coconut oil and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse, clumpy crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining. Drizzle in 3 tbsp maple syrup and the vanilla extract and stir until the mixture just comes together into a crumbly, slightly sticky dough.
