Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / 160C fan forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: honey, oil, vanilla extract. Mix them really well.
Add the remaining ingredients (except the cranberries). Mix well - this is easiest with your hands.
Tip onto the prepared baking tray. Press it down into a thick layer.
Bake for 20 minutes, giving it a mix around and flattening out again halfway through.
Add the cranberries and stir it around, then press down again.
Bake a further 7-10 minutes until it is deep golden in colour.
Remove from oven and let it cool at room temperature until completely cooled.
Break into clusters and store in an airtight container for 4-6 weeks.
Notes
I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoon (equal to 4 teaspoons)
Don't add the cranberries before halfway or they will become far too chewy.
The pressing down is what gives you the clusters. Although you stir it a few times throughout, don't skip this step or it may dry out too much before it has a chance to clump together.
