Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp peanut butter or your favourite nut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup hulled hemp seeds (hemp hearts) – from online suppliers and some organic and bulk-food shops
- 1/4 cup mixed seeds – pumpkin, sesame, sunflower etc
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/3 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)**
Method
- 1Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a roughly 27cm x 17cm slice tin or similar with baking paper and set aside.
- 2Spread oats on a baking tray and toast in the oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Meanwhile, heat the syrup, honey and peanut butter in a saucepan or microwave until liquid. Add the vanilla and mix well.
- 3Place toasted oats, all the seeds, coconut, cranberries and chocolate chips (if using) in a bowl. Mix well, add the honey mixture and mix again. Tip into the lined tin and press firmly into place with a wet hand or cover with baking paper and roll with a can from the pantry.
- 4Bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden. Cool for 5 minutes then, while still in the tin, score into bars with a knife but do not cut all the way through. When cooled, lift out and slice into bars.
