Instructions

Grease and line a 27.5cm x 17.5cm x 3.5cm slice pan
In medium bowl combine the oats, wheat germ, seeds, raisins, cranberries, orange zest and cinnamon.
In a saucepan melt the coconut oil, honey and brown sugar together over a medium heat, stirring gently with a whisk until the sugar has dissolved and the ingredients combine. This will take around three minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for a further three-five minutes whisking to form a thick caramel syrup.
Once the caramel syrup has formed, immediately add to the oat mixture and mix quickly until well combined.
Press the mixture into the prepared slice pan and cool in the fridge for around 4 hours
