Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon ground
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup coconut flakes small flakes, unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds optional
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds optional
  • 3 Tbs canola oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325F.

  2. Mix the dry ingredients in a baking pan or roasting pan with a wooden spoon.

  3. Mix the vanilla, maple syrup, egg white, and honey into a small bowl.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix thoroughly until the oats and nuts are coated evenly.

  5. Flatten the mixture into an even thickness in the pan. Ideally, you want the mixture no more than an inch thick and in a dish where you can stir the mixture part way through baking without it spilling over the edges.

  6. Bake the mixture for about 45 minutes. Check every 15-20 minutes and stir the mixture so it cooks evenly. It is done when it is golden brown like toast and the mixture is not releasing moisture when you open the oven to check on it.
