Ingredients
- 4 1/2 ounces large rolled oats
- 4 1/2 ounces steel cut oats
- 1 1/2 ounces brown sugar
- 4 1/4 ounces raw butter (if available, otherwise, use organic butter)
- 7 1/2 ounces dried cranberries (try to find them without any added sugar)
- 3 1/4 ounces dried shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 ounces dried apples, chopped
- 1 5/8 ounces dates, chopped
- 1 5/8 ounces sunflower seeds
- 1 5/8 ounces pumpkin seeds
- 1 5/8 ounces sesame seeds
- 5/8 cup honey
Directions
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Chop the dates, apple into small pieces and add to a large mixing bowl along with the oats, shredded coconut, cranberries, sunflower, sesame and pumpkin seeds.
Cut or scoop the butter into chunks and along with the honey & brown sugar combine ingredients into a sauce pan.
Heat butter-sugar-honey mixture until it's bubbling then pour this mixture into the oats-fruit-seeds mixture. Stir well and allow 5 minutes for the oats to absorb the moisture.
Line a 5cm deep baking pan with parchment and add the mixture pressing firmly to compress it. Cover with another sheet of baking parchment and bake for 20 minutes.
Cool thoroughly and then cut to your desired shape of approx 50grams each.
Cover with cling wrap and keep in fridge up to 3 weeks.
