Ingredients

  • ¾ cup old-fashioned oats
  • ¼ cup wheat germ
  • cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp flaxseed ground
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut shredded
  • ½ cup cranberries dried
  • ¼ cup almonds sliced
  • cup unsalted peanuts
  • cup honey
  • cup coconut oil melted
  • ¾ tsp orange juice fresh squeezed

Instructions

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine oats, wheat germ, sugar, ground flax, salt, cinnamon, coconut, cranberries, almonds, and peanuts.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together honey, coconut oil, and orange juice. Pour over the flour mixture and toss together with a fork.
  • The mixture will be dry but sticky. Blend together until all of the dry ingredients are moistened by the honey mixture.
  • Pour mixture into a 13” x 9” baking dish. Pack down mixture so it is evenly spread throughout the pan.
  • Cook for 35 - 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes.
  • Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for about an hour before slicing. This will help to further cool the bars and keep them from crumbling when sliced.
  • Use a large, sharp knife to cut block into 12 bars. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in an air-tight container.
