Ingredients:

• ½ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
• ¼ cup flax seed
• 1 cup whole wheat flour (not enriched)
• 1/3 bag mini chocolate chips
• ¾ tsp salt
• ½ cup raw honey
• 2 eggs, beaten
• ½ cup vegetable oil or avocado oil
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C). 

Generously grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, mix together oats, sugar, flax seed, flour, chocolate chips and salt.

Make a well in the center, and pour in the honey, egg, oil and vanilla.

Mix well using your hands.   Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.

Bake for 20-30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bars begin to turn golden at the edges.   Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm.   Do not allow the bars to cool completely before cutting, or they will be too hard to cut.

Variations:

• Can substitute cinnamon and raisins for the chocolate chips if desired.
• Can also add 2 Tbsp peanut butter
