Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking pan (approximately 9x9 inches) with parchment paper, extending the paper slightly over the edges for easy removal later.
- In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Mix well until uniform.
- Add 1 egg to the mixture and whisk until combined.
- Incorporate 1/2 cup of brown sugar and mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1.5 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 cup of oats, 1 tsp of spice mix, and 1 tsp of baking soda. Ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing continuously until a uniform, thick batter forms.
- Gently fold in 1/3 cup of dried cranberries and 1 cup of fresh raspberries. Ensure that the berries are evenly distributed throughout the batter without over-mixing, as this can break the berries apart.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the muesli bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or bars as desired.
- Store these delicious oat and mixed berry muesli bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
