Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.75 cup golden raisins
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, golden raisins, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and beaten egg until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is fully incorporated and evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to press the mixture down firmly and evenly into the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This step is essential for the bars to firm up properly before cutting.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the oat bar slab out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 12 bars or your desired serving size.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
