    Ingredients
    Serves 12
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    2 c. Hy-Vee HealthMarket Organic old-fashioned oats
    ½ c. raw shelled pumpkin seeds
    ½ c. raw shelled sunflower seeds
    2 to 3 tbsp chia seeds
    ¼ c. Hy-Vee dried cranberries
    ½ c. honey or agave nectar
    2 tbsp. unsalted butter or tahini

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a square 8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Spread oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and chia seeds on a baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes, stirring twice for even toasting. Transfer seeds to a medium bowl. Stir in cranberries; set aside.
    2. Pour honey into a small saucepan and bring to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer 7 minutes or until honey becomes thick, or a candy thermometer reaches 275°F. Stir in butter.
    3. Pour honey mixture over oat mixture; stir to combine. Spread evenly into baking pan. Let cool completely. Cut into bars and tightly wrap each bar in plastic wrap or parchment.
