Crunchy, golden clusters of rolled oats, mixed nuts, and honey—ideal for breakfast, snacking, or topping yogurt.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, pecans, walnuts), coarsely chopped
03 - ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut (optional)
04 - ¼ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas) or sunflower seeds
05 - ½ tsp ground cinnamon
06 - ¼ tsp fine sea salt
→ Wet Ingredients
07 - ⅓ cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
08 - ¼ cup melted coconut oil (or neutral oil)
09 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
→ Optional Add-ins
10 - ½ cup dried cranberries, raisins, or chopped dried apricots
11 - ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, nuts, coconut, seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
04 - Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly coated and clumps start to form.
05 - Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Gently press down with a spatula to encourage clusters to form.
06 - Bake for 22–25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown.
07 - Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet without stirring (this helps clusters set).
08 - Once cooled, break into clusters. Mix in dried fruit or chocolate chips if desired. Store in an airtight container.
