okay, I’ll give it, but keep in mind it will be crumbly when you go to bite into it. eat them with a plate underneath ;-p

the recipe is similar to the homemade granola.

mix together, in a big resealable bowl:

• 3 cups rolled oats, ground (in a coffee grinder or food processor)
• 2 cups whole rolled oats
• 2-3 tbsp flour
• 1 cup ground flax seed
• 1/4 cup raw sunflower seed
• 3 tbsp chia/sesame seed
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, pulsed in a food processor
• 1/2 cup pecans, pulsed in a food processor
• 2/3 cup currants
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

when mixed, add in:

• 1 cup oil
• 1 1/2 cup liquid sweetener (agave/maple syrup/molasses/brown rice syrup/etc)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

shake everything up, making sure to keep all of the sweeteners consistent throughout the mixture. pour the mixture into a deep-sided baking pan, like a casserole dish. spread it to fill the pan, then press it down to keep the bars more sturdy.

bake at 400F for 30-40 minutes, checking every once and a while to make sure it hasn’t overcooked ;) once the mixture is a little crispy on top, but not too brown, take it out of the oven. let it cool for a couple of hours, at least, before you try to cut it apart. (put it in the refrigerator if you want, even.) the bars should be solid, but like i said, they’ll probably fall apart when you eat them. good luck!
