Time 3h45m

Yield 20 bars

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup unsalted roasted almonds, chopped
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed pretzels

Steps:

For the base: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Toss the oats with the butter on a rimmed baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Bake until toasted, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely, then transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the almonds and coconut.
For the bars: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
Combine the sugar, butter, honey, salt and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally; the mixture will bubble and foam. Boil for 30 seconds, then pour over the oat mixture and stir. Let cool slightly, then stir in the chocolate chips and pretzels. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press firmly with a rubber spatula to spread in an even layer.
Let the bars stand at room temperature until completely cool and firm enough to slice, 1 to 3 hours. Lift out of the pan using the foil overhang and cut into 20 bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 bars

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

Gluten-free cooking spray
1 cup gluten-free old-fashioned oats
1 cup gluten-free brown rice cereal
1/2 cup chopped raw almonds
1/2 cup chopped raw cashews
1/2 cup gluten-free pretzel sticks
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup creamy almond butter
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan with gluten-free cooking spray. Line the pan with an overhanging piece of parchment paper to easily remove the bars.
In a large bowl, toss together the oats, rice cereal, almonds, cashews, pretzel sticks and salt.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, stir together the maple syrup and almond butter until smooth. Add to the oat mixture and toss to evenly coat. Transfer the oat mixture to the prepared pan and, using a greased piece of parchment paper, press down firmly to spread evenly.
Bake until just firm, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.
Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. Remove the oat bar from the pan and cut evenly into 6 bars. Place the bars, gooey-side up, on the wire rack. Bake until almost dry to the touch, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.

"This is one of my favorite recipes for last-minute school bake sales," writes Sandy Kerrison from her home in Lockport, New York. "The cake-like snacks are the first items to go...that is, if they're not grabbed by a teacher first. I also include them in Christmas cookie gift baskets."
