Ingredients

• 120 grams Rye flour
• 100 grams Rolled oats
• 75 grams Brown sugar
• 60 milliliters Honey
• 60 grams Butter, melted
• 80 grams Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Dried cranberries (optional)
• 50 grams Chopped nuts, such as walnuts or almonds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease or line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing as it may result in dense bars.

Step 5

If using dried cranberries or nuts, fold them gently into the batter.

Step 6

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, cut into 8 equal bars and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
