Barley Snack Bars

(from largomason’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup spent barley from brewing, dried
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup raw almonds
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup dried cherries

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Combine your oats and raw almonds on a sheet tray and toast in the oven for six to seven minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning.

  2. Meanwhile line an 11X13 baking dish with wax paper or parchment and spray with non-stick spray.

  3. Put brown sugar, honey, butter, vanilla, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.

  4. Combine slightly cooled oats and almonds in a medium sized bowl with spent barley and dried cherries.

  5. Pour brown sugar mixture over oats mixture and combine.

  6. Pour into prepared dish and let cool 2-3 hours. Cut up and wrap individually, if you like.
