Ingredients

  • 3 cups old fashioned (rolled) oats
  • 1 cup roughly chopped California walnuts
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened or sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 8 large Medjool dates, roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F and line an 11x7 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Stir together oats, walnuts, coconut, cranberries, brown sugar, cinnamon and dates in a large bowl.
  3. Add honey, coconut oil and vanilla extract and stir until combined.
  4. Transfer mixture to a food processor and pulse until all ingredients are chopped and stick together when pressed between your fingers.
  5. Transfer to prepared baking dish and press down very firmly using a spatula or your hands. (Covering mixture with a piece of parchment or plastic wrap and pressing down with your fingers makes this easier.)
  6. Bake for 25 minutes, then let cool completely. Remove from pan and cut into 8 equal bars.
