Ingredients

  • 4 cups whole oats, or 3 1/4 cups oats + 3/4 cup oat bran
  • 3/4 cup raw almonds, whole or sliced
  • 3/4 cup raw cashews, chopped
  • 1/2 cup raw pepitas
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/3 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, or substitute palm sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup brown rice syrup
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pour 1 1/2 cups oats in a food processor. Pulse until finely ground.
  2. Place the ground and remaining whole oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, and dried fruit in a large bowl. Mix well. Line a large 13x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.
  3. Place the brown sugar, honey, brown rice syrup, and coconut oil in a sauce pot over high heat. Bring to a roaring boil, stir well, then remove from heat immediately. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Then pour the syrup over the dry ingredients.
  4. Mix well, so that all the dry ingredients are coated, then scoop the mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread the mixture out evenly. Use another sheet of wax paper to press down on the mixture until flat and packed. Refrigerate for 2 hours to set, then cut into squares. Wrap well, and store in the refrigerator, or in a cool dark place for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • You can store these healthy snacks in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for 1 to 2 weeks.
