Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup raw almonds
- 0.5 cup raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup dried apricots (chopped)
- 0.25 cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.25 cup coconut flakes (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey and vanilla extract until slightly runny, about 1-2 minutes. Stir well.
Step 4
Pour the warm honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl and mix thoroughly until all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 7
Once golden and toasted, remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The mixture will harden as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, fold in the dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, and coconut flakes.
Step 9
Store the cereal in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Serve with milk, yogurt, or as a snack on its own!
