Ingredients
- 2 cups raw, regular rolled oats
- 2 cups favourite flaked whole-grain cereal
- 3 cups dried fruit (eg. apricots, pineapple, cherries, cranberries, blueberries, mangos etc)
- 2 cups raisins
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup hemp hearts
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup smooth nut or seed butter
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Spray a 9X13 pan lightly with oil
- Mix rolled oats and cereal flakes together in a large bowl
- Add other dry ingredients separating the dried fruit pieces. Mix all completely
- In saucepan over medium temp heat oil
- Add honey to oil and stir constantly until mixture is bubbling
- Stir in Peanut Butter and Cinnamon and mix well
- Pour hot syrup mixture over dry ingredients and mix well to ensure bars will be evenly moist – work quickly
- Transfer into the 9X13 pan and pat down firmly (hint – spray back of large clean spoon and use it to pat down mixture, this will stop ingredients from sticking to the spoon and lifting)
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours
- Cut into bars and wrap in plastic wrap
- Store in freezer if you wish
Notes
Optional: Lightly toast oats and cereal by spreading them out on a cookie sheet and bake at 350ºF for about 8 mins. This gives the bars a bit of a toasty taste. Try a batch each way and decide your preference.
