  "ingredients": [
    "142 grams salted butter\n",
    "2/3 cup brown sugar\n",
    "1/3 cup honey\n",
    "1/4 tsp salt\n",
    "1/4 tsp cinnamon\n",
    "1/2 tsp vanilla extract\n",
    "2 3/4 cups quick cooking oats\n"
  ],
  "method": "*   Line a 9 by 9 inch baking dish with parchment paper\n*   Preheat the oven to 325 degrees\n*   Drop some portion of the oats (maybe half?) in a blender and pulse them a bit if you want a less crumbly, more chewy bar (note: haven't actually tried this, mostly speculation).\n*   In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, honey, salt, and cinnamon\n*   Melt the mixture over medium heat until the butter has melted and the brown sugar is mostly dissolved. Remove from heat.\n*   Add the oats to the saucepan and mix into the butter sugar mixture until the oats are fully coated.\n*   Press the mixture into the baking dish. Pat down the top with a spatula for a flat and even surface - this will also help the bars be less crumbly.\n*   Bake at 325 for 25 minutes, or until the edges are just getting golden\n*   Once done, cut into a 4 by 4 grid immediately, before they're cooled (Might make sense to press them down again first to avoid crumbliness, I'm not sure).\n*   Let cool completely, then lift out of the pan using the parchment paper lining.\n*   Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days. Or freeze for longer.\n",
  "notes": "*   Recipe from a cool Backpacking Recipes website: [Backpacking Recipes - Hudson Bay Bread](https://www.backpacking.net/recipes/bread-hudson-bay.html)\n*   Aiming for something like Hudson's Bay Bread\n*   Find a base recipe... then come up with a shortlist of fun ingredients...\n    *   Oats, PB, nuts, seeds... dried fruit?
