Pour the cooled oat mixture into a large bowl.
Add the oat flour to a food processor. Add the cranberries, then mix until they are fully incorporated.
Add the raisins and mix again.
Add the dried fruit mixture to the large bowl with the oat mixture and mix well.
In a medium saucepan, add the butter, honey, molasses, brown sugar and vanilla.
Bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 minutes while continuing to stir.
Remove the mixture from the heat and pour it over the oats and fruit mixture in the large bowl.
Stir well to combine everything.
Pour the mixture into the baking dish, pressing firmly into pan to cover the corners.
Baking the granola bars for 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.
Using the parchment paper, remove the bars from the dish and allow to cool for 2 more hours.
Using a sharp knife, cut the bars into 16 pieces and serve or wrap in plastic for longer storage.
Notes
Measure oats and flour by weight.
Toast the oat mixture for the best flavor.
Process one batch of dried fruit until chopped, then add the next batch.
Honey makes the bars more chewy, maple syrup makes the bars more crunchy.
Let the granola bars cool completely before cutting.
Use a sharp knife to cut the bars.
