Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon walnut oil, plus more for pan 1 1/4 cups spelt flakes 1/2 cup dried cherries 1/4 cup sproated or ground flaxseeds 1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped pistachios 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup natural creamy peanut butter 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Brush an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with oil. Line bottom and two sides with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each side. Brush paper with oil. In a bowl, combine spelt, cherries, flaxseeds, pecans, pistachios, and salt; set aside.

In a small saucepan, combine honey, peanut butter, oil, and vanilla. Cook over medium until melted. Add to dry ingredients and stir to combine. Transfer mixture to prepared pan; smooth top. Bake until golden and edges pull away from sides of pan, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely in pan. Using paper overhang, lift bars out of pan. On a cutting board, cut into 8 pieces using a serrated knife. Store in an airtight container, separating pieces with wax or parchment paper, for one week.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/27/2013   These are really convenient to have on hand, not to mention super tasty. I usually make a double batch, wrap each bar in plastic wrap and keep them in the freezer for when I don't feel like making breakfast. Freezing them helps keep them together as well- if I wait too long to eat one after taking it out of the freezer it gets a bit sticky.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/28/2012   I made these and made several changes - used oats, subbed almonds and pine nuts for the pecans and pistachios, used a cherry/raisin blend, chunky peanut butter, and unsweetened applesauce in place of the oil. They came out so moist that they tend to fall apart, but they are very delicious. I think next time I will add more dry goods (dried coconut and more flax) and perhaps bake a little longer.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/21/2012   This was a winner with even the most picky eaters. I used oats instead of the spelt flakes and we mixed up the variety of dried fruit and nuts/seeds we put in. Very good!!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/14/2012   I wouldn't bother making these again. They just weren't that great. This was a very easy recipe to make - no skill or special equipment needed. However the bars are just blah despite all the ingredients. The bars are very very thin and don't hold the shape. I ended up just crumbling it over greek yogurt. Won't be making these again.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/24/2012   These were SO good! I used oatmeal instead of spelt flakes also, because I could not find them either, but mine stuck together just fine. I also used coconut oil for walnut oil, and almonds as the only nuts. I've made breakfast bars from other recipes before, and these are by far the best.
