Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 7- by 11-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
• In a bowl, stir the oats, sunflower seeds, almonds, coconut, flax seed meal and cinnamon. Transfer to a dry sheet tray and toast in the oven for 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• While dry ingredients toast, in a medium pot, add the honey, coconut oil and vanilla. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the honey turns a copper color, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Pour the honey into the dry ingredients and mix until well coated with the honey mixture.
• Pour onto the prepared baking pan. Pack down the ingredients. Bake for about 10 minutes; the middle may seem slightly sticky but it will cool nicely. Let cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Flip over, take off the parchment and cut into rectangles. Serve.
• For other flavors, make the following substitutions to the recipe above: Ruby (Cranberry): Omit the almonds and add an additional 1/4 cup dried cranberries. Nathan (Blueberry/Almond): Substitute the cranberries with dried blueberries. Enzo: (Cashew/Almond): Omit the cranberries and add 1/4 cup cashews to the dry ingredients. Ellie (Cashew/Date): Substitute the almonds with cashews and substitute the cranberries with dried dates.

• Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray, line the bottom with parchment paper and set aside.
• Combine the oats, flax seed, digestive biscuits, walnuts and chocolate chips in a large heat-proof bowl.
• Combine the sugar, honey, corn syrup and butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the mixture starts to boil. Once it has come to a light boil, cook the mixture for 2 minutes to dissolve the sugar.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla and kosher salt. Add to the oat mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the marshmallows, if using.
• Scrape the mixture into your prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer. Place the pan in the fridge for about 1 hour to firm up.
• Carefully lift the granola bars out of the pan and slice into 12 equal bars. Wrap individually in parchment, wax paper or plastic wrap and place in a tightly sealed container.
• For a chewier bar, store in the fridge. For softer bars, store in the cupboard.
