Wet Ingredients
- 500 g melted butter
- 500 ml buttermilk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups soft brown sugar
Dry Ingredients
- 300 g white flour
- 400 g whole-wheat flour
- 300 g oats
- 50 g oat bran
- 40 ml baking powder
- 2 tsp salt
Add-ins
- 250 g All-Bran flakes, crushed
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1 cup raisins or dried cranberries
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs and buttermilk together.
- Stir in the sugar and melted butter until smooth.
- In a big bowl, mix all the dry ingredients.
- Add the crushed All-Bran flakes, seeds, and dried fruit.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until everything is combined.
- Spoon the batter into two greased glass baking dishes. Smooth the tops.
- Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 40 minutes.
- Let it cool a little, then cut into thick slices.
- Let them cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight. (This helps stop them from falling apart.)
- The next day, break them apart so they don’t touch.
- Place in the oven at 170°F (75°C) and dry out until crisp (4–5 hours, depending on your oven).
- Remember to place a spoon in the door to keep it slightly open
Tip:
The crunchy crumbs are delicious on yogurt, like homemade granola. Go on, try it, you’ll want to make a second batch!
