Ingredients
1 2/3
cups
rolled oats
1/2
cup
sugar
1/3
cup
oat flour
1/2
teaspoon
salt
1/4
teaspoon
cinnamon
6
ounces
dried cranberries
6
ounces
unsalted almonds
1/3
cup
cashew butter
1
teaspoon
vanilla
6
tablespoons
melted Earth Balance
1/4
cup
maple syrup
2
tablespoons
corn syrup
1
tablespoon
water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9x9 brownie pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with either cooking spray or Earth Balance.
Use a food processor to coarsely chop the almonds and cranberries. The bars hold together better when the pieces are smaller.
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
In a smaller bowl, combine wet ingredients except for the cashew butter.
Combine the wet ingredients into the dry along with the cashew butter. Stir well to make sure everything is evenly combined.
Move ingredients into the greased pan. Use plastic wrap to firmly press the mixture down evenly so that it's in the corners and flat on top.
Bake for 30-40 minutes. Look for browning around the edges.
After removing from the oven, allow to cool in the pan for 20 minutes on a cooling rack, then finish cooling in the refrigerator until chilled.
Use a knife or bench scraper to make 9 bars. Wrap individually and chill.
