Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Chopped raw almonds
- 0.25 cup Raw sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cup Raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 0.5 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice (to serve)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, ground flaxseeds, chia seeds, cinnamon powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting. The cereal should turn golden brown and smell fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cereal cool completely. It will crisp up further as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the cereal to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
To serve, pour your desired portion into a bowl and enjoy with unsweetened almond milk or any milk of your choice.
