How to Make Get Up Go Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and honey.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
