Preparation

Step 1

Directions:


1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 15"x10"x1" (37cm x 25 cm x 2.5 cm) jellyroll pan or line with parchment paper.


2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat butter and brown sugar together, stirring until smooth. Stir in corn syrup.


3. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Pour sugar mixture on top. Mix well, until all ingredients are moistened. Press firmly into prepared pan.


4. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until light golden. Cool completely then cut into bars.



Note:
1. Replace all purpose flour with Robin Hood® Whole Wheat Flour.
2. Under-bake for a chewy texture. Bake longer for crisper bars.
3. Vary the dried fruit, chocolate chips and seeds to suit your own tastes, keeping the total amount the same as in the recipe.
