Garden of Life Coconut oil
1 cup regular rolled oats
1/3 cup ground oats
3 Tbsp flax seed
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp each, baking powder & Celtic Sea salt
1/2 cup chopped soaked pecans (see Nourishing Traditions)
1/2 dried cranberries
1/2 cup finely chopped dried mission figs (can use raisins instead, or dried blueberries-yum)
3/4 cup freshly ground almond butter
1/4 cup raw milk
1 large fresh egg
1/2 cup raw honey
finely shredded zest from 1 lemon
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1. Line a 9 x 13″ pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on the 9″ sides, and coat with coconut oil. In a large mixing bowl, stir together oats, oat bran, flax seeds, flour, baking powder, salt , pecans, cranberries, and figs until well blended.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together almond butter, raw milk, fresh egg, raw honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well blended.
3. Add flour mixture to peanut butter mixture and beat until completely blended. Scrape dough into lined pan and with wet fingers or a rubber spatula, pat to fill pan completely and even. Chill dough until firm, about 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 300 degrees. Invert pan onto a work surface, lift off pan, and peel off plastic. Using a knife, cut straight down lengthwise through middle, then crosswise to make 16 bars, each 1 1/2″ wide. Place bars about 1″ apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment or greased baking sheet.
5. Bake bars until lightly browned and somewhat firm to touch, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
If you make this ahead, it can be stored for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
Could also soak the whole wheat before use. Perfect for travel. Keeps you regular.
