Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15"x 10" jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the oats and pecans, and spread in an even layer on the prepared pan. Bake 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until toasted.
- In a large bowl, combine the egg, butter, honey, and vanilla. Add the cranberries, chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, toffee, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until combined.
- Add the oats and almonds, and mix well.
- Re-line the pan with parchment paper so that the paper overhangs an inch or two on the two long sides. Spread the mixture evenly and firmly in the pan.
- Bake 13-18 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned and the bars are set. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan onto the wire rack to continue cooling. Cut into bars.
Notes
- Use any combination of add-ins you like - nuts, dried fruits, seeds, etc. Just keep the total amount about 3 cups.
- You may find the bars cut more cleanly if refrigerated for about 30 minutes before cutting.
