Ingredients

• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup mixed raw nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews), chopped
• 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or neutral oil)
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, or chopped apricots) – add after baking

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, nuts, and seeds.
3. Mix wet ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, maple syrup, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Combine: Pour wet mixture over dry ingredients. Stir until evenly coated.
5. Spread & bake: Spread mixture in an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake 25–30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden brown.
6. Cool & add fruit: Let cool completely, then stir in dried fruit.
7. Store: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
