Ingredients
- 2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup mixed nuts (cashews, almonds, walnuts), chopped
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup flaxseeds
- 1 cup dried cranberries or raisins
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped mixed nuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and dried cranberries (or raisins). Stir to mix everything well.
3. In a small saucepan, gently melt the peanut butter or almond butter and honey (or maple syrup) together over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth and combined.
4. Pour the melted nut butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are fully coated.
