ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 3⁄4 cup flax seed meal
• 3⁄4 cup almonds

• 2⁄3 cup brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup honey
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dried blueberries

directions

1. I like the almonds sliced and the walnuts whirred in a food processor.
2. Mix the dry ingredients, and toast at 400 º for 12 minutes, stirring after 5.
3. Mix the wet ingredients and heat to a simmer.
4. Then combine the two parts, and press firmly into a wax paper lined pan (9 x 13"). Allow to cool and rest for 2-3 hours until set.
5. Then turn out onto a cutting board and cut by adding pressure straight down with a large knife.
6. "Cooking" time is for setting.
