Steps

  1. Line an 11×7-inch pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on two sides so you can lift the slab out flat later.
  2. Toast the oats and pepitas in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring, for 4–5 minutes until they smell nutty and turn pale gold. Tip them into a large bowl and let them cool, then stir in the hemp hearts, chia and cranberries.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt the 4 Tbsp butter with the brown sugar, honey, molasses and cinnamon over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the syrup just bubbles. Pull it off the heat.
  4. Let the syrup sit off heat for one minute, then stir in the infused coconut oil until it disappears into the syrup. Adding it here, away from the burner, keeps the dose well under 175 °C / 350 °F.
  5. Pour the syrup over the oat mixture and toss thoroughly — at least a minute of turning and folding — so every oat is coated and the dose is distributed. The mix will be very sticky.
  6. Scrape into the pan and press down hard and evenly with the back of a measuring cup, paying attention to the corners. An even thickness is an even dose.
  7. Refrigerate 30 minutes, then lift the slab out by the parchment. Trim a thin sliver off all four edges so the slab is a true rectangle, then cut lengthwise down the middle and crosswise into 8 — 16 equal bars. Weigh two or three to confirm they match; nudge your cuts if they don't.
  8. Wrap bars individually and keep them in the fridge. One bar first, then wait a couple of hours.
  9. Label the box (and each wrapper if you're sharing): Cranberry Pepita Press-In Bars · 80 mg THC total · 5 mg per bar · 16 bars · made [date] · 21+ only.
