Ingredients
  

  • 4 Cups Whole Oats (or quick oats)
  • 3/4 Cup Almonds (I used roasted)
  • 3/4 Cup Raw Cashews (chop if you want!)
  • 1/2 Cup Raw Pepitas
  • 2/3 Cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 1/2 Cup Dried Cranberries
  • 1/2 Cup Raisins
  • 1/3 Cup Sesame Seeds
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar (i used the Truvia Blend)
  • 1/3 Cup Brown Rice Syrup
  • 1/4 Cup Honey
  • 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 Tsp Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • Use a food processor or blender to grind up the oats. 
    **I ended up using quick oats as is
  • Combine the oats, sesame seeds, raisins, cranberries, cashews, pepitas, almonds, and shredded coconut in a large mixing bowl. Set aside. 
  • Add the brown sugar, coconut oil, honey, and brown rice syrup to a sauce pot and heat on high over the stovetop. Remove from the heat once the coconut oil melts, and stir in the sea salt and vanilla. 
  • Pour the syrup over the dry ingredients and mix well. Make sure to get every ingredient coated in the syrup. 
  • Scoop the mixture out on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Spread evenly.
  • Place a separate sheet of wax paper over the top of the bars and press down until the bars are flat and packed. 
  • Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before slicing them into bars. 
  • Cut into squares, wrap, and store in the refrigerator! 
    * I wrapped mine and put them in a container.
