Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Almonds (sliced or chopped)
• 0.5 cup Walnuts (chopped)
• 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.25 cup Dried coconut flakes (unsweetened)
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°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, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey and coconut oil over low heat until melted and combined. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Pour the honey and coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 5

Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the mixture is golden brown and fragrant. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and coconut flakes.

Step 9

Transfer the cereal mix to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy it with your favorite milk or yogurt, or simply as a snack!
