Print Recipe Pin RecipeIngredients
- 1 cup mixed nuts, roughly chopped (I used a mix of sunflower seeds, pecans, walnuts, and almonds)
- 1/2 cup dried fruits, chopped (I used raisins and cranberries )
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 egg
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the chopped nuts, dried fruits, coconut, flour, oats, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar. Next, mix in the vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda. Lastly, whisk in the egg until everything is creamy.
- Add the wet mixture to the nuts and fruit and mix well.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- After the dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Press the dough into a metal 9x9 inch pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until the bars are golden brown and the smell fills your kitchen. Wait for the pan to completely cool before cutting into bars.
Notes
If needed you can substitute all-purpose gluten-free flour and use gluten-free oats.
