Ingredients
  • 4 cups large rolled oats
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened (unsulphured) coconut flakes
  • 4 tbsp ground flax seeds
  • ⅛ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • Small pinch ground clove
  • 2 tsp natural vanilla extract or 1 tsp almond extract
  • Optional: 1 cup mixed chopped dried fruit (dates, raisins, etc)
  • 100 g unrefined coconut oil
  • 90 g honey , agave, or maple syrup
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Line two pans with parchment paper.
  2. Mix together all the dry ingredients (except for the dried fruit) in a large bowl. In the microwave, or on the stove, melt the coconut oil, honey and vanilla together in a small bowl. Add to the dry ingredients and mix everything until thoroughly coated. Separate onto the two baking trays (or one full-sized sheet pan) and bake for about 20 minutes.
  3. Take the trays out and add the dried fruit, incorporating with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon. Continue baking for another 15 minutes. Set a timer and be careful not to over-bake! The oats & coconut should be starting to brown.
  4. Remove from oven. Leave it to cool down completely (so that it can get all crispy crunchy!) and then break it down by hand into clusters.
  5. Store in an airtight container up to a month.
Recipe Notes

It might not seem crisp when you first take it out, but it will firm up once it cools.
