Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup Dried fruit (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until completely blended. If using chopped nuts or dried fruit, fold them in at this stage.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press it firmly and evenly into the pan.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center feels set.

Step 7

Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment paper overhang.

Step 8

Once cooled, cut into 12 bars and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
