Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla, and any liquid ingredients.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. Fold in the dried cranberries.
