Toasting the oats and coconut adds a tasty twist to fruit-and-seed bars.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups large-flake rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried dates
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 2/3 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup liquid honey
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

Preparation

In large skillet, toast oats and coconut over medium heat, stirring often, until golden, about 7 minutes. Transfer to large bowl; let cool.

Stir in chopped dates and apricots, cranberries and sunflower and sesame seeds; set aside.

In saucepan, bring butter, brown sugar, honey and corn syrup to boil over medium-high heat; boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Let cool for 1 minute. Pour over oat mixture, stirring to coat.

Scrape into parchment paper–lined 13- x 9-inch (3.5 L) metal cake pan, pressing firmly with back of spoon.

Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in pan on rack. Cut into bars. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 5 days.)
