How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 2 1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats (not steel-cut)
- 5 tablespoons runny honey (vegan, see Note 1)
- 1/2 cup salted peanuts
- 1/2 cup brazil nuts
- 1/2 cup raisins (or dried cranberries)
- 1/4 cup salted cashews
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 2: Roughly chop the peanuts, brazil nuts, and cashews.
- Step 3: Spread the oats and chopped nuts evenly over a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes.
- Step 4: Meanwhile, combine the honey, melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, and pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Pour the toasted oat and nut blend into the bowl. Add the raisins and use a rubber spatula to stir everything together. It will not seem wet enough, but that's ok.
- Step 5: Line 1 (8 in. x 8 in.) pan(s) with cut parchment paper so that the paper flaps hang off of the sides. Note: You could also use 2 bread pans instead of the larger pan.
- Step 6: Pour the oat mix into the lined pan and use the spatula to pack the oats firmly into the pan and corners. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Serve: Remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper flaps and cut into slices. Store in the refrigerator or freezer. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Note 1: For a vegan alternative, use an equal amount of brown rice syrup to substitute the honey. Maple syrup will not hold the bars together as well.
