Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 15 mins


• preheat an oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). line a 13x9-inch pan with lightly-greased parchment paper; an inch or so of parchment paper should stick up on 2 sides to form lifting handles.
• mix the quick-cooking oats, old-fashioned oats, pumpkin seeds, almonds, mixed nuts, cranberries, and sweetened condensed milk together in a bowl; spread into the prepared pan, evenly pressing into the corners and out to the sides.
• bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden brown, 20-25 minutes, using slightly less time for chewier bars and slightly more time for crunchier bars.
• allow the the bars cool for 5 minutes in the pan before using the parchment paper to lift them from the pan. use a sharp knife to cut into bars. let the bars cool completely and store in an airtight container.
