These Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Squares are subtly sweet and delicious, but without all the guilt. They are a great breakfast, or even as a dessert (topped with ice cream of course). =)

How to make these Apple Cinnamon Squares:
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 F. Spray an 8-inch baking dish with coconut oil (or other cooking spray).
In a small bowl or mug, mix together 1 tablespoon chia seeds with 4 tablespoons water. Set aside until thickened (4-5 min).
In a large bowl, add brown sugar, coconut oil, vegan butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and chia egg. Add the flour, baking soda, oats, sea salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir until combined. Add the diced apple and stir until blended.
Spoon the mixture into an 8 inch pan and spread evenly throughout. Stir to combine. Bake uncovered at 350 F for 35-40 minutes.
It is best to let these breakfast squares cool and then refrigerate for an hour before cutting and serving. You can also warm it up a bit before serving. Makes 15 addictive squares.

Can I use regular eggs? If so how many?

I haven’t made it with a regular egg, but generally 1 chia egg is equal to 1 regular egg, so if I were making it, I would try that. =) Thanks!
