4. Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside. 

5. In a small pot, melt together butter, honey, coconut sugar and peanut butter.

6. Stir as it heats and simmer for 5 minutes on a low heat until it becomes a caramel.

7. Add the hot caramel to the toasted oats and seeds mix. Be careful as it will be very hot and can really burn. Stir to comine, working quickly as it sets fast.

8. Pour into lined baking tray, pressing into the edges and corners. You can put a piece of baking paper on top and push down to compact the mixture onto the tray.

9. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours. When cool, cut into squares or bars, and store in an air tight container.

​Enjoy :-)
