Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 baking tray

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups whole oat flakes
  • 1 cup raw cashews (use 1/2 or 3/4 cup, depending on preference)
  • 1 cup raw walnuts (use 1/2 or 3/4 cup, depending on preference)
  • 1/3 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 to 1 cup dried cranberries
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oat flakes, cashews, walnuts, and sunflower seeds.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
