Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup mixed seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mixed nuts, and mixed seeds.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well until everything is evenly coated.
