Would it be out of line to say I want more friends? Well, not more, like, real-life friends. I mean I want more fellow blogger friends. Do you have a blog? Can we like, read each other’s posts and be chummy? I do have one blogger friend, but she might not really count because she’s primarily a real-world friend first. Her name is Emily and she blogs on food, fashion, and travel over at dish & tell. I got this delightful recipe from her.
It is tasty with a capital T. She’s smart and sweet, so I think you and the whole world should know about her.
APRICOT & WALNUT GRANOLA BARS
Serves 7-8
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup oat flour
1 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons flaxseed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups coconut
1 and 1/2 cups dried apricots, chopped
1 cup walnuts
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup honey
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together oats, oat flour, brown sugar, flax seed, salt, cinnamon, coconut, apricots, walnuts, and sunflower seeds in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, maple syrup, butter, and vanilla. Transfer dry ingredients into a greased 9×13 baking dish. Pour honey mixture over dry ingredients and press into an even layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool before slicing… or just go hog wild on the pan like David and I did.
