Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup roughly chopped macadamia nuts, 1/2 cup chopped dried Davidson's plum, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter with 1/3 cup honey and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  3. Step 3: Pour the honey-butter mixture over the oat mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 bars.
