Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, and ground cinnamon. Stir together until well mixed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
