Ingredients
- 3/4 Cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 Cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup honey
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup Kirkland Signature roasted and salted cashews, coarsely chopped
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 F butter and flour a 13-by-9-inch baking pan.
In a bowl, sift together flours, cinnamon and salt; set aside. With an electric mixer, cream butter, honey and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated and mixture is smooth.
Add sifted ingredients and mix until just blended.
Fold in oats, cranberries, chocolate and cashews. Mixture will be very stiff.
Using a wooden spatula, spread mixture evenly in the prepared pan.
Bake for 23-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool on a rack for 10 minutes and then cut into squares.
Makes 15-24 servings.
Tip: These are very rich; a little goes a long way.
* You can use semisweet chips for a sweeter bar but the purer the chocolate, the less sugar and the more flavonoids (antioxidants) it has.
