Description
Rolled oats, wheat bran, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, and walnuts bound with honey and egg, studded with raisins and cinnamon. Real texture, not a brick, and no candy-bar sweetness.
Ingredients
Units
- 2 c rolled oats
- 3/4 c packed brown sugar
- 1/2 c wheat germ
- 1/2 c sunflower seeds
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 c wheat bran
- 3/4 c raisins
- 1/2 c chopped walnuts
- 1/2 c honey or agave nectar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 c vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients until combined.
- Add wet ingredients (oil, egg, vanilla, and honey) and stir until well combined.
- Evenly spread mixture onto greased baking pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the bars begin to turn golden brown.
- Allow to cool, then slice into bars and remove from pan.
Notes
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing — cut them warm and they crumble apart instead of holding together.
- Press the mixture down firmly and evenly before baking; loose spots bake up crumbly.
- Wrap bars individually before freezing so you can grab one at a time instead of thawing the whole batch.
