Preheat oven to 325°F and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Place the freeze-dried berries into a food processor until a powder forms. Add the remaining dry ingredients (flours, protein powder, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder) and mix until incorporated.
Add the melted coconut oil and applesauce and continue blending until all ingredients are incorporated and a dough forms.
