Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease the pan.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.

Gradually stir in the Flourish Apple Cinnamon Pancake Mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bars soft and tender.

Gently fold in the diced apples and cinnamon, if using.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. In a small bowl, mix together the monk fruit sweetener and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter before baking.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the bars cool completely before slicing into squares or rectangles. The texture gets even better as they cool.
