Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Line a 23 x 33 cm (9 x 13 in) baking pan with foil and grease it.

2. 2

   Combine the oats, flour, wheat germ, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips in a large bowl.

3. 3

   Whisk the egg, honey, oil and vanilla together in a separate bowl.

4. 4

   Pour the wet mix over the dry one and stir until every oat is moist.

5. 5

   Tip into the pan and press down firmly into an even layer.

6. 6

   Bake until the edges just start to brown, 15-20 min, for soft bars. For crunchy ones, bake until golden all over, 25-30 min.

7. 7

   Let it sit in the pan for 5 min, then lift out by the foil and cut into 18 bars.

8. 8

   Leave the bars to cool completely before handling, about 30 min, or they will crumble.
