I brought this recipe—called flapjacks in England— when we moved here in 1989. I bring them when my husband and I go on long cycling rides in the countryside or serve them with afternoon tea. They’re the perfect pick-me-up! JANE HELM, St Louis, MO

Chewy oat bars

ACTIVE 15 MIN ✦ TOTAL 45 MIN (PLUS COOLING) ✦ MAKES 24 BARS

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter ⅔ cup honey ½ cup granulated sugar 5 cups quick-cooking oats ⅓ cup sunflower seeds 1 cup unsalted roasted almonds, roughly chopped 1 cup cranberries 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour Pinch kosher salt 1 Heat oven to 325°F. Line a 9 x 13-in. baking pan with parchment, leaving a 2-in. overhang on the two long sides. 2 Place the butter, honey and sugar in a large pot and cook over medium-low heat until melted, about 3 minutes; remove from heat. 3 Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the oats, sunflower seeds, almonds, cranberries, flour and salt. Add the oat mixture to the butter mixture and fold until just combined. Gently press the mixture into the prepared pan and bake until light golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. 4 Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Using the overhangs, transfer the bar to a cutting board and cut into 24 pieces.
