Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 3 cups steel cut oats
- (Omit oats for a grainless option)
- 1½ cups whole raw almonds
- 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 cup hemp seeds
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- 1 cup flax seeds
- 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
- 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
- 1/2 cup raw honey (real honey crystallizes)
- 1/2 cup dried fruit (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a large bowl combine oats, almonds, coconut, seeds, and salt
- In a small sauce pan on low, liquify the coconut oil and honey
- Pour coconut oil/honey mixture over oat mixture and stir until combined well
- Scoop onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper - do not overfill
- Bake for 15 minutes
- You may want to toss half way through to prevent the edges from overcooking
- Remove and allow to cool
- Add dried fruit (optional) and store in airtight containers
Notes
- This is a large recipe. You can reserve a cup or 2 and turn them into power balls by using honey and nut butter to bind the mixture together. Adding mini chocolate chips make this a sweet treat. Form into balls and refrigerate.
- Serve for breakfast as a substitute for breakfast cereal, layer with fresh berries and yogurt, making it the perfect parfait or top a french toast casserole for the added crunch.
