Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats and 1 cup chopped raw almonds.
  2. Step 2: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/3 cup honey, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar. Stir continuously until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Pour the honey-butter mixture over the oats and almonds, stirring well to coat evenly.
  4. Step 4: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press firmly with the back of a spatula to create an even layer.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 20 minutes until edges turn golden brown and bars feel set to the touch. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 12 bars.
