- 4 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 1/2 cup seeds (pumpkin, sunflower)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, apricots)
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together melted oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

- Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and toasted.
