• 50 grams Coconut Oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch x 8-inch) baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, mixed nuts, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds.

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and honey together. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are well coated.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to press down the mixture evenly and firmly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the baking pan before cutting into bars.

Step 9

Once cooled, lift the parchment paper to remove the bars from the pan. Cut into 12 even bars using a sharp knife.
