Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup Dried fruit (optional)
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, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until completely blended. If using chopped nuts or dried fruit, fold them in at this stage.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press it 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 feels set.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment paper overhang.
Once cooled, cut into 12 bars and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
