Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almonds (sliced or chopped)
- 0.5 cup Walnuts (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup Dried coconut flakes (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey and coconut oil over low heat until melted and combined. Remove from heat.
Pour the honey and coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the mixture is golden brown and fragrant. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the mixture cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and coconut flakes.
Transfer the cereal mix to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy it with your favorite milk or yogurt, or simply as a snack!
