Oatmeal Bar |
I measured 1 1/2 cups of wheat kernels and turned it into flour using the Vitamix
Craig flaked oat groats.
1. Preheat oven to 330F and line a 12X18 pan with parchment paper.
2. In a very large mixing bowl melt 1 pound of butter/4 sticks and let cool slightly.
3. Stir in 4 cups of flour (1/2 wheat, 1/2 white), 2 cups of white sugar, 2 cups of brown sugar, 2 tsp of baking soda, 2 tsp of salt, 2 tsp of cinnamon, 4 tsp of vanilla, and 4 large eggs. Do not overmix.
4. Add in 6 cups of oats, 1 cup of dried cranberries, 1 cup chopped pecans and a handful of white chocolate chips. Stir until just combined.
5. Pour into prepared pan, smooth top and bake for 40-45 minutes until set and golden brown. The bar will have poofed up a bit and will settle down as it cools. It won't jiggle when it's cooked through.
6. Let cool in pan on a wire rack.
7. Slide giant bar onto a cutting board by pulling gently on the parchment paper. Ease parchment paper away from sides of the bar and cut into bars.
8. Freeze what won't be eaten in a few days.
