Instructions

Dry Ingredient Mix:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, Ceylon cinnamon, pink salt, and baking soda. Ensure even distribution.

Wet Ingredient Blend:

Combine and Fold:

  • Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the toasted coconut flakes and walnuts, if using, and fold until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.

Bake the Oat Squares:

  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and press down gently with a spatula.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Cool and Garnish:

  • Let the squares cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment overhangs to lift out onto a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.
  • For a touch of luxury, lightly drizzle with artisanal honey and sprinkle edible gold leaf over the squares.

Serve:

  • Slice into squares. Serve as a refined tea-time snack or a sophisticated breakfast option.
