# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over the sides so you can lift the bars out easily.

Grab a wooden spoon or a spatula, and stir everything together in a big bowl until it’s fully mixed.

Spread the mixture evenly into your lined pan, pressing it down firmly. Pack it as tightly as you can. Bake for 25-28 minutes, until the edges turn golden and the top is set.

Allow the pan to cool completely on a rack for an hour. Then pop it into the fridge for another hour to firm up. Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out and cut them into pieces.
