Recipe Introduction
I came up with recipe by combining several others I found on the net and a few of my own adjustments. It took over 8 months to get this recipe just right.
List of Ingredients
2 cups quick cooking rolled oats
3/4 cup EACH roasted & salted sunflower seeds, pecan pieces and semi-sweet chocolate chips OR coarsely chopped dates (115 gr.)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2-1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves, slightly heaping
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
4 Tbsp. liquid honey
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extractRecipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9x9 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, combine oats, sunflower seeds, pecans and chocolate chips/dates; set aside.
In a cereal bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, cloves and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and brown sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add egg, honey, vanilla extract and flour mixture; beating just until incorporated.
