2 cups oat flour

³   ₄ cup rolled oats

1 egg

1 cup unsweetened

applesauce

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with
   parchment paper and set aside.


2. Beat egg and set aside. Combine applesauce, oat flour
   and rolled oats in a bowl. Pour all but 1 Tbsp. of the egg over
   the mixture and set aside the remaining 1 Tbsp. of egg.


3. Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture until a dough
   forms. The dough should be tacky but not overly sticky.
   Add a bit more flour if necessary. Take a 2-Tbsp.-sized piece
   of dough (approximate) and roll into a tube. It should be
   about 10 in. long and about the width of a pencil. Repeat.


4. Take each tube and make it into a U shape, then twist
   the ends together and fold back to the top. This makes
   the pretzel shape. Pinch the ends in to make sure they’re
   secure. Place the pretzels on the baking sheet. Brush the
   top of each pretzel with the remaining egg.


5. Bake 25-30 minutes until pretzels are slightly browned
   and become crispy. Remove from the oven and allow to
   cool before serving. Store in an airtight container for up
   to 2 weeks.
