Ingredients
-
2 cups quick-cooking oats
-
1 cup dried cranberries
-
1 cup pecan halves
-
½ cup ground flax seed
-
½ cup milk chocolate chips
-
¼ cup wheat germ
-
1 cup packed light brown sugar
-
½ cup honey
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or waxed paper.
-
Mix oats, cranberries, pecans, ground flax seed, chocolate chips, and wheat germ together in a bowl.
-
Stir brown sugar, honey, vegetable oil, and salt together in a large microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave for 30 seconds. Stir mixture and heat in microwave again until smooth, about 30 seconds more. Stir vanilla extract and cinnamon into brown sugar mixture.
-
Stir brown sugar mixture into oats mixture until evenly mixed and chocolate is melted; pour into the prepared baking dish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Lift bars out of pan by pulling by the parchment paper; cool for 5 minutes before cutting into bars.
Cook's Notes:
If the bars are too crumbly even though you mixed the dry and liquid ingredients well, add a little more honey to your liquid mixture.
If the bars turn out to be too hard, reduce the baking time.
