These are fabulous!! And full of good stuff for you! I use organic, unsulphured dried fruits in my bars. I also use local, raw honey, but Agave can be substituted for the honey if desired. And sometimes I substitute raisins for the dried cherries. Either way, soooo good!

SERVES 6 , 1 pan (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter
5 tablespoons honey
1 egg
7/8 cup ground almonds
7/8 cup dried apricot, finely chopped
1/3 cup dried cherries
3/8 cup walnuts, chopped (hazelnuts or pecans may also be used)
1/8 cup sesame seed
1 cup rolled oat

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease shallow 7" square baking pan with butter.
2
Beat the butter in a bowl with honey until creamy.
3
Add egg and ground almonds.
4
Add remaining ingredients and mix together.
5
Press mixture into prepared pan, ensuring it is firmly packed, and smooth the top.
6
Bake for 20-25 minutes in preheated oven until firm to the touch and golden brown.
7
Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before marking the squares. Let stand until cold before removing from the pan. Store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
