Ingredients

Base

  • 1/2 cup sprouted whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened

Topping

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 2 tablespoons raw coconut flakes
  • 2 tablespoons hemp seed
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower nuts
  • 2 tablespoons pepita seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Cut two (12x8-inch) sheets of cooking parchment paper. Place one sheet in 8-inch pan, allowing paper to hang outside of two sides of pan; place other sheet on top so it hangs outside of other two sides of pan.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, mix Base ingredients until soft crumbly dough forms. Press in bottom of pan. Bake 16 minutes.

    Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat honey and eggs with whisk. Stir in remaining topping ingredients. Pour over base.

    Bake 18 to 23 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Remove by lifting paper edges. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 2 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use your favorite ingredients! Walnuts can be used in place of the pecans. Use dried chopped apricots, raisins or dried cranberries instead of the cherries.
  • tip 2
    Be ready to grab and go! Cut into bars, wrap individually and store in your refrigerator!
