Almond and cherry oat bars

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 170°C. Lightly spray a 20 cm square cake tin with oil. Line base and sides with baking paper, extending paper 2 cm above edge of tin.
2. Place flour, oats, almonds, cinnamon, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and ¼ teaspoon salt in a large bowl and stir to combine. Whisk brown sugar, oil, egg whites, almond butter and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth. Add brown sugar mixture to flour mixture. Stir until well combined. Fold through cherries. Spoon mixture into prepared tin. Smooth surface with spatula.
3. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool completely in tin on a wire rack. Use the overhanging paper to lift slice from tin, then cut into 16 squares.
