Ingredients
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup oat bran
1/4 cup finely chopped almonds
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp vegetable oil plus
1 tsp vegetable oil
1/3 cup honey
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine remaining
ingredients and add to dry mixture. Mix until all ingredients are
moistened.
Press mixture into a rectangular shape 7 inches wide and nine inches
long. (Wet hands or use one hand and a damp spoon.)
Bake about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and cut into 16 bars using a
sharp knife. Separate bars slightly and return to oven for 3 to 5
minutes more. The browner the bottom of the bars, the crisper they
will be when cool.
The edges will crumble slightly when cut - set aside for a snack.
Remove to a wire rack to cool.
