Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted) or butter
- 0.5 cup optional chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds)
- 0.5 cup optional dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and salt. If using nuts or seeds, add them now as well.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to ensure all the oats are evenly coated.
Spread the oat mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin, even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir the oats gently, and then spread them out evenly again.
Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the oats are golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Allow the toasted oats to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.
If using dried fruit, fold it into the cooled mixture. Store the cooled Maple Cinnamon Toasted Oats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Serve with yogurt, milk, or enjoy as a crunchy snack straight from the jar!
