Crunchy Granola Bars

I've been trying to create a gluten free version of the Nature Valley Oats & Honey granola bars using this recipe as a base.

7 oz GF rolled oats
1/4 c canola oil
1.5 oz dessicated coconut
2 oz almond flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 c liquid sweetener (trying 1/4 c honey and 1/4 c agave this time)
1 tsp vanilla

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Stir oats and oil and spread over a lined cookie sheet. Toast for 20 minutes, stirring once.
3. Mix the remaining ingredients together with the oats (I let them cool for about 5 minutes first.)
4. Spread on cookie sheet to about 1/4" thickness. Bake for 25 minutes.
5. Allow to cool completely before cutting.
