Servings: persons

½ cup unsweetened flaked coconut
½ cup pecan halves, chopped
¼ cup dates, diced
¼ cup unsweetened dried cranberries
½ cup unsalted sunflower seed kernels
1 ¼ cups rolled oats
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
¼ cup white corn syrup
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla
12-¾ cup vanilla baking chips

1
Preheat oven to 350*.
2
Line a 10 x 6 cake pan with parchment paper.
3
In a large bowl, mix together coconut, pecans, dates, cranberries and sunflower kernels.
4
Set aside.
5
Heat the oats in a small frying pan until toasted a light brown.
6
This could take about 10 minutes.
7
Do not leave unattended.
8
When done, add to the fruit and nut mixture.
9
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, mix together butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.
10
Once incorporated, increase heat and boil for 1 minute.
11
Remove from heat and add vanilla.
12
Quickly pour this over the fruit/oat mixture and stir until combined.
13
Press into the prepared pan.
14
I've had good success laying another sheet of parchment over the mixture and pressing with a spatula.
15
Bake for 15 minutes.
16
Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with vanilla baking chips.
17
Allow the chips to soften for a few minutes, then using an offset spatula, spread to ice.
18
Allow to cool to room temperature before removing from the pan and cutting into serving size pieces.
19
They will be easier to cut if barely warm.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
