Categories     Dessert

Time 12h45m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup craisins
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/4 cups cane sugar or 1 1/4 cups sucanat
3/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil, melted
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 tablespoons whey or 6 tablespoons cultured buttermilk
3 cups warm water

Steps:

  • 1. Soak flour and oats in warm water and whey or buttermilk for 12-24 hours.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 3. Mix the wet ingredients into the flour and oats mixture.
  • 4. Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl.
  • 5. Mix the two together and add the craisins.
  • 6. Pour into greased 9x13 pan.
  • 7. Bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • To make the oat mixture, use old-fashioned oats. Quick oats will not work as well.
  • Be sure to pack the oat mixture firmly into the pan before baking. This will help the bars stay together.
  • If you want a chewier bar, bake for a few minutes longer.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
