Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Prepare a 10 x 15 inch baking sheet with a generous coating of cooking spray.
In large bowl, stir together oats, brown sugar, wheat germ, coconut, nuts, and both seeds.
In a small saucepan, heat canola oil, honey and vanilla until just bubbling. Pour hot mixture over oat mixture and mix thoroughly.

Categories Breakfast

Time 2h45m

Yield 16 bars, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup flax seed
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 cup almonds, sliced (or other chopped nuts like cashews, walnuts, peanuts, macadamias or pecans)
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 teaspoon sea salt or 1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup honey
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup dried cranberries (or other chopped dried fruit like raisins, pineapple, apricots, cherries, papaya, prunes, white or c)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Combine the oats, wheat germ, flax seeds, sesame seeds and almonds; spread out evenly on the rimmed baking sheet and toast for approximately 10 to 15 minutes until golden, stirring occasionally and watching carefully so as not to burn.
In the meantime, in a large bowl combine salt, coconut, cinnamon and dried cranberries; set aside.
In a large measuring cup place the vanilla, honey, butter and brown sugar. Microwave approximately 2 minutes. Mixture will foam and bubble. Stir to completely dissolve brown sugar.
When oat mixture is done toasting, transfer to the same bowl with coconut mixture and stir to evenly combine. Add the honey mixture and stir to incorporate.
Line a 9" x 13" baking pan with waxed paper. Spread the mixture, using the back of a wooden spoon, pressing to create a smooth, even surface. Place another piece of waxed paper over the top, pressing down to evenly compact the mixture. Compacting is important so the bars won't fall apart when cut. (Suggestion: place one pan of same size within the other and press to even out mixture.).
Refrigerate and completely cool the mixture about 2 hours to assure a clean cut. Firmly press down with a large knife to cut into bars. Do not saw. Wrap bars in waxed paper and store in refrigerator or freezer.
