Starbuck'S Copycat Oat Bars (Gluten Free)

• 4 cups oats
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 120 g butter (1/2 cup)
• 60 g brown sugar (1/2 cup)
• 80 g honey (1/4 cup)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Grind 1/2 of the oats in a blender to a fine grind. Grind the other half of the oats to a coarse grind. I use large flake oats. Use certified gluten free if gluten is an issue.
2. Add salt and cinnamon. Combine well and set aside.
3. In a pot, place the remaining ingredients except the vanilla. Use coconut oil if you need to make this vegan friendly.
4. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 2 1/2 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
6. Add the warm mixture to the dry and mix well.
7. Firmly press the mixture into a 7x13 pan sprayed with cooking spray.
8. Cool in the fridge for 1/2 hour or more.
9. Cut into 16 squares.
10. Store in the freezer for several weeks (if you manage to not eat them all)!
