Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Chopped almonds
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Dried mango (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Golden raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, and shredded coconut.
In a small saucepan, warm the honey, coconut oil, and ground cinnamon over low heat until melted and combined. Stir well.
Pour the honey-coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 7–8 minutes to prevent burning, until golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let the mixture cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries, dried mango, and golden raisins.
Transfer the finished Sunshine Cereal to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Serve with milk, yogurt, or as a snack on its own. Enjoy your homemade Sunshine Cereal!
