Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Raw almonds, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
• 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 1 tablespoon Stevia or monk fruit sweetener
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened dried cranberries, sliced almonds, ground cinnamon, unsweetened coconut flakes, and pumpkin seeds. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the stevia or monk fruit sweetener, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully blended.

Step 4

Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula to thoroughly coat all the ingredients.

Step 5

Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Watch closely during the last few minutes to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cereal mix cool completely on the tray. It will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, transfer the cereal mix to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Step 9

Serve on its own as a snack or with unsweetened almond milk or yogurt for a balanced breakfast.
