My friend Tracy, who sometimes posts here, gave me this recipe. We love it here!
4 cups rolled oats - or 4 c steel cut oats ( soaked ) [ If you want to
add Wheat Germ or Oat Bran - do it here- no more than 1/4c of the 4 cups ]
1/2c other Grains/seeds ( Raw sunflowers, Flax Seeds etc .)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda ( Rumford )
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup honey or 1/2c Agave
1/3 cup Cane Juice Crystals ( turbinado, sucanat etc) or 1/3c packed
brown sugar
2 cups Sweet stuff ( Unsweetened Raw coconut, Ch. Chips, raisins, dried
cherries,dried papaya etc ) You can mix these to equal 2c total.
Bake at 325 until it puffs and turns golden. This should take around 20
minutes. Let them cool completely before cutting. Skipping this step will
get you crumbly bars. Since flour varies in its humidity etc.... if you find
that your bars are a little dry you can add a bit more butter and or honey
the next time and find the recipe that works best for you.
