Introduction

I created this recipe when our allergist said that we need to eat hazelnuts regularly to keep an allergy from returning. I created this recipe when our allergist said that we need to eat hazelnuts regularly to keep an allergy from returning.

    Flax Seed Meal (ground flax), 8 tbsp
    Honey, .5 cup

Tips

Cooking less will give a chewier bar. They are easier to cut if you wait until they have cooled a bit but are still slightly warm and soft


Directions

Butter a 9 by 12-inch glass baking dish and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spread the oats, hazelnuts, and flax meal onto a half-sheet pan. Place in the oven and toast for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In the meantime, combine the honey, brown sugar, butter, extract and salt in a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook until the brown sugar has completely dissolved.

Once the oat mixture is done, remove it from the oven and reduce the heat to 300 degrees F. Immediately add the oat mixture to the liquid mixture, and stir to combine. Turn mixture out into the prepared baking dish, sprinkle on the chips and press down, evenly distributing the mixture in the dish and place in the oven to bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
