Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 cups steel cut oats
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup add-ins chocolate chips, dried fruit
Instructions
- Cook steel cut oats according to the package instructions, but cook for only 10 minutes. Drain and rinse the oats.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Add the cooked oats, butter, eggs, brown sugar, honey and vanilla. Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture until combined. Fold in any add-ins you are using.
- Spread the mixture evenly inside the prepared pan, using a rubber spatula to press into the corners. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Let sit in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully lift the parchment onto a flat surface and cut into squares.
Notes
- Using parchment paper in the pan saves having to clean the pan and makes it easy to lift the bars out of the pan.
- Spread the bar mix evenly in the pan so it cooks evenly.
- Allow the bars to cool a little before attempting to lift them from the pan. I like to give it 10 minutes or so.
