Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups GF oats
  • 1/2 cup walnuts roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup pecans roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseeds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened finely shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract or vanilla powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 275 and line a regular sized to large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the oats, walnuts, pecans, flaxseeds, and coconut in a large bowl.
  3. Mix the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and vanilla in a small bowl.
  4. Pour the liquid mix over the large bowl and mix with your hands until well combined.
  5. Add the mixture to a lined baking sheet and press it all down so that it is compact.
  6. Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour until golden brown. Mine takes 1 hour, but pan sizes vary.
  7. Take out of the oven and let it sit as is for 15 minutes. Then break it up with your hands a bit and continue to cool completely before eating and storing in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
