How to Make Honey Oatmeal Chewy Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ½ cup honey, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup toasted coconut flakes, and 1 cup toasted chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts work well).
  7. Spread the batter evenly into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The center will still be slightly soft. Do not overbake!
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  10. Store airtight at room temperature. For extra soft bars, store with a slice of fresh bread.
