This is a family recipe that I have adapted to be gluten free and vegan. I had my oldest helper change this recipe a bit and she did most of the work too. My Mom tells the story of how she, as a kid, would come home and make this as a snack for the rest of the kids in her family. Maybe I am trying to recreate that! 

1/2 cup    Earth Balance or coconut oil
​11/2 cup  Brown Sugar
3/4 cup    Gluten Free All Purpose Flour (I use Cloud 9 or this recipe here)
1/2 tsp     Cinnamon
​3/4 cup    Oats *
2 Tbsp      Ground Flax seeds (mixed with 6 Tbsp of warm water)
1/2 tsp     Baking powder *
1/4 tsp     Salt
1 tsp        Vanilla
3/4 cup    Raisins
1/4 cup    Dried Cranberries
1/2 cup    Sliced Almonds
1/2 cup    Shredded Coconut (unsweetened) 


1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Mix coconut oil, 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 cup gluten free all purpose flour until crumbly and blended. 
3. Press into a 8 x 8 square pan. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
4. Add ground flax to warm water and let sit.
5. Mix 1 cup sugar, 1/2 gluten free all purpose flour, oats, baking powder, salt, vanilla, raisins, dried cranberries, sliced
​     almonds and shredded coconut.
6. Pour over baked first layer and level as much as possible. 
7. Bake 30 minutes and cool before cutting into squares.

*gluten free if necessary.
