1. The hazelnuts are chopped and roasted in the oven for fragrant (175 degrees for about 4 minutes, the fragrant will be roasted). After cooling, set aside. Flaxseeds are also roasted to fragrant. Mix the dry ingredients (oatmeal, flour, flax seeds, chopped dried cranberries, hazelnuts) in a large bowl, and put the butter in another bowl. Heat to melt into a liquid (or use a microwave oven to heat into a liquid). Add brown sugar and caster sugar. Honey, stir the butter and sugar mixture with a whisk to make them evenly mixed
2. Stir to the state as shown in the figure, the sugar is completely integrated into the butter, pour the dry ingredients prepared in step 2 into the butter mixture at one time, stir with a spatula to make them evenly mixed, pour the mixed mixture into the spread In an 8-inch square baking pan with tin foil (or pre-spread a layer of butter on the inner wall of the baking pan), press it tightly with the back of a spoon. Put it in a preheated 180 degree oven and bake for about 25 minutes before it is out. After being out of the oven and cooling, use a knife to cut the roasted hazelnut oatmeal into 16 pieces in the baking tray, and then demould it.
Tips:1. When making this dessert, the mixed batter is very dry, and the various materials will not stick together until they are baked. Before roasting, press them firmly into the baking tray. The freshly roasted hazelnut oatmeal is very soft, you must wait until it is completely cooled before it becomes hard, and then you can cut it into pieces;
2. When dicing, cut in the baking tray, and then release the mold after cutting, so that it is not easy to break;
3. Brown sugar can increase the color and luster of hazelnut and oatmeal, and it can also increase the flavor. Friends who don’t like brown sugar can also use fine sugar instead;
4. Dried cranberries can be replaced with other dried fruits, such as raisins and dried apricots. Flax seeds can be replaced with black sesame seeds. The produced hazelnut and oatmeal have different flavors, but they are equally nutritious and delicious;
5. The weight of this recipe is suitable for a square baking pan with 8 inches in length and width (that is, a square baking pan with a side length of about 20cm). If you don't have a baking pan of this size, you can calculate the area of your own baking pan and adjust the amount of recipe according to the proportion;
6. For this snack, I do not recommend that you reduce the amount of sugar, because the viscosity of sugar after baking is one of the conditions for the final shape of the finished product. If there is too little sugar, various ingredients may not stick together;
7. Many cones that want to control weight should stay away from high-calorie foods such as hazelnuts and oats. In fact, if they are eaten reasonably, they are more conducive to weight control. Because they are not only nutritious, but also easy to make people feel full and help you control your appetite. As long as they eat sparingly, they can help you reduce your calorie intake, far more than their own calories. For example, this hazelnut oatmeal block is most suitable to eat 1-2 pieces a day. Keep the rest sealed and eat within 1 week.
