Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang to easily lift the Honey Crunchies out later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and salt. Set the bowl aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the honey and brown sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely, and the mixture begins to bubble lightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract. The mixture will foam up slightly – this is normal!
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the oats and flour. Stir well to combine until the dry ingredients are evenly coated and everything sticks together.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down firmly and evenly into the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is a golden brown color. Be careful not to overbake, as the bars will harden as they cool.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before lifting the mixture out using the parchment paper overhang.
Once cooled, cut into 12 even bars or squares using a sharp knife.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy your Honey Crunchies as a simple snack or dessert!
