It’s been a hot one this summer. I would like to thank everyone for a great summer. As we move into the fall season, we at Harbor Lakes are excited about the changes that are coming. The kitchen would like to invite you to try our wide array of specials that we have coming, from shrimp and grits to pulled pork sandwiches. Come join your Harbor Lakes family for our special events such as Two Step Tuesday and our special Wine Pairing with new wines and creative foods. I would like to end this article with a recipe for Chewy Granola fruit bars. With the kids going back to school these make a great treat.
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups Old fashion Rolled Oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup dried fruit of your choice
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 tablespoon flaxseed
Preheat oven to 350. In a small bowl, combine oats, salt, cinnamon, and oil. Stir to blend. Spread oats on baking sheet and bake for 10 min until golden. Cool and reserve.
In a small saucepan, add honey and sugar. Stir and bring to a boil. Simmer 5 min. Remove from heat. Let cool slightly.
Stir in sunflower seeds, dried fruit, chopped nuts, sesame seeds, and flax seed.
Pour and scrape oat mixture into lightly oiled baking dish, spreading batter so it’s evenly distributed in the pan. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool and cut into squares. Enjoy!
