Ingredients
- 3 cups Cheerios

- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cheerios, raw almonds, and pumpkin seeds. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and stir in the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Use a spatula to gently toss and coat everything evenly.
Step 5
Spread the mixture out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 7
Once the mixture is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
Step 8
Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
Step 9
