INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup golden syrup (check baking aisle of Whole Foods)
- 2/3 cup uncooked steel cut oats (sub in old fashioned oats if you like)
- 1/4 cup oat bran
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1 cup suitable nuts and seeds (I used a mix of sliced almonds and sunflower seeds)
DIRECTIONS
- Line 8 x 8 inch pan with parchment paper
- In medium sauce pan, add coconut oil and golden syrup over medium-low heat until oil melts.
- Add in oats and oat bran stirring for about 5-8 minutes to slightly softened oats.
- Take off heat and fold in cranberries, nuts and seeds.
- Place mixture in square pan and top with another piece of parchment paper.
- Press parchment paper very firmly into pan to create a firmly packed granola bar.
