Quick oats are often less expensive and still work well.

In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of old-fashioned oats, 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar.

Mix the dry ingredients together until combined.

In a separate bowl, measure out 1/2 cup of canola oil and pour it into a measuring cup.

Add 1/2 cup of honey to the same measuring cup to help it slide out easily.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the oil and honey mixture.

Emulsify the mixture by stirring it together.

Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing for about 3 minutes until well combined.

Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and pat it down into a rectangle about 13x9 inches.

Even out the edges using the side of a knife to ensure they are perfect.

Bake in the oven at 325°F for 40 minutes.

Let cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into bars.
