Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Puffed rice cereal
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.3 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds or chopped nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, puffed rice cereal, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir together until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Gently fold in the dried cranberries and sunflower seeds or chopped nuts.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan, pressing it down firmly into an even layer with a spatula or your hands.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The bars may appear slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour.

Step 9

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 12 rectangular bars or your desired size and shape.

Step 10

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
