Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F and coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together instant oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine melted butter or coconut oil, egg white, and vanilla extract. Stir in maple syrup and almond milk until well blended.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined. If desired, fold in any mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 9-12 minutes until lightly golden on top.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
