Quick Raspberry Applesauce Paleo Breakfast Bars
Quick, easy, and healthy paleo applesauce raspberry breakfast bars are oil free, grain free, and sugar free (made with only fruit sugar!). They are so tasty, moist, and the perfect bar for breakfast, snack, or dessert.
These bars give me life. UGH, so good! And you wouldn’t believe how quick and easy they are to make! Plus, plus!! They store great in the freezer! I may or may not be munching on one right now…
Anyway, what’s in these? Well, we have a little bit of applesauce, some berries, and top it all off with loads of goodness; including, chocolate (of course), pecan pieces, slivered toasted almonds, raspberries, coconut shreds, and this legit creamy coconut butta glaze. YUM!
More than just quick breakfast bars
I went into this recipe thinking I was just gonna make breakfast bars. But… I kinda went a little overboard… All the way to the tip of the sparkler, hehe.
These bars are made without any sugar (just fruit sugar)! Also, no oil!… grains and all that other stuff ;). I made this recipe up in my food processor and then baked it in this 6″ by 6″ cake pan. But you can also use a brownie pan or a different size, whatever you have on hand. Please note though, that using a different size pan will alter the cooking time, so be sure to keep an eye on these guys.
Okay, now we get to the good stuff. The fact that these babies store just perfect in the freezer (and I can’t decide if I like them better straight from the freezer or straight from the oven) is pretty solid! They make a great healthy snack when you need it and can last a long time- if you’re cooking for just one person…
- 5 tablespoons coconut butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2-3 drops stevia liquid

- Pre heat oven to 400F. Line the bottom of a 6" by 6" square brownie or cake pan with parchment paper. You can also use a smaller or larger cake pan, but cooking time will vary, so keep an eye on it.
- In a food processor (or by hand) combine all the ingredients (except the raisins and coconut shreds) for the bars. Blend until the batter is completely smooth. Once the batter is smooth, stir in the coconut shreds and raisins.
- Pour the batter into the 6" by 6" square cake pan. Bake on 400F for 20-25 minutes until cooked and lightly brown.
- Top off with any of the toppings listed above (or none). Eat or store in the freezer.
- For the glaze, blend all ingredients together in a food processor until completely smooth.

I might double this recipe to bake in a 9×9 pan, and watch the baking time, since I don’t have a smaller square pan.
I don’t have applesauce on hand, but I do have apples! Do you think I could blend an apple into the base mixture?
Hi Emily, yes that should work. 🙂
