4 cups quick cook oats
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup oil
1 cup vegan carob chips
¾ cup pure maple syrup
½ cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. Spread oats onto a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, mix together remaining ingredients. Add warm oats and stir well. Spread oat mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish, pressing down hard to compact it. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely, then cut into bars.
