    1 Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a 20cm-square baking tin with baking paper, allowing paper to hang over two sides of the tin. In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and egg.

    2 In a small saucepan, heat oil and honey over low, stirring, until well combined and smooth. Simmer for 1 minute. Add honey mixture to oat mixture. Stir until well combined.

    3 Press mixture firmly into the prepared tin and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a deep golden colour. Cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.

    Variations

    Make it low FODMAP: Use gluten-free self-raising flour and maple syrup not honey. Check cranberries don’t contain apple juice and stick to 1 bar per serve.
