Equipment

  • Baking sheet with sides
  • Saucepan (small)
  • 9x13 Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups quick rolled oats
  • ½ cup sliced almonds
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ⅓ cup butter
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup extra goodies try shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, or M&Ms
  • parchment paper or aluminum foil

Instructions
 

  • Place the oats and nuts on a baking sheet with sides. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. 
  • In a small saucepan, heat the honey, butter and brown sugar until melted and bubbly. Take off the heat and add the vanilla and the salt.
  • Stir in the yummy extras of your choice. (Wait until the mixture has cooled a bit before adding chocolate chips though, or they will melt!)
  • Place a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil in the bottom of a 9×13” pan. Spray the bottom of a measuring cup (or your hands) and press the mixture evenly into the pan. 
  • Cool the bars for a couple hours. Lift the bars out onto a cutting board. Cut in half lengthwise and across into bars. Store in a covered container.

Notes

So good.
