Ingredients
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
- In a small saucepan, warm honey and coconut oil over low heat until melted and combined. Stir in salt and cinnamon if using.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp as it cools.
- Break into clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.
Tips
- Store in a cool, dark place for maximum shelf life.
- Add dried fruit like raisins or cranberries after baking if desired, but note that fruit reduces shelf stability.
- Use within 3 months for best quality; can be frozen for up to 6 months.
