Introduction

This is my variation on homemade granola bars. They're chewy, sweet and packed with goodness! It's an easy recipe and great way to replace store bought, sugar-filled variations.

Ingredients

3 cups oats

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup flax seeds, ground

1 tsp cinnamon, ground

1/4 tsp cloves, ground

1/8 tsp salt

3/4 cup coconut flakes, unsweetened

1 cup dried cranberries

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 Tbsp canola oil

1/2 cup soy milk, light

non-stick cooking spray

Tips

Lining the pan with paper will help ensure easy removal.

If you wet your hand with water, you can press down the mixture in the pan without it sticking to your fingers.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all dry ingredients, except 1/4 cup of coconut flakes, in a large bowl. Then mix in all wet ingredients. Stir thoroughly, the mixture will be sticky and thick.

Take a 9x13 pan and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with either wax paper or pan-lining foil (paper side facing towards food). Spread mixture evenly on the bottom of the pan and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup coconut.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Let cool and cut into bars. Wrap individually for easy transport and store in air tight container.
