Recipe type: Healthy Breakfast
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
- 3 cups of rolled oats (don't use instant - I like gluten free)
- 2½ cups of coarsely chopped, mixed nuts (I like pistachios, cashews and almonds)
- 1 cup raw sunflower seeds
- ¾ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1½ cups dried sweet cherries, chopped (or leave them whole for bursts of flavor)
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- ¾ cup maple syrup
- ⅓ cup canola oil
- 1 egg white, whipped with a fork until frothy.
- 1 tbs. coconut oil
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees.
- Mix sunflower seeds, oatmeal, nuts and coconut in a big bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix maple syrup, brown sugar and canola oil until sugar is dissolved.
- Pour maple syrup mixture and egg white over the oats mixture and mix well using your hands.
- Spread mixture over cookie sheet that has been oiled with the coconut oil.
- Bake for 45 - 55 minutes stirring every 15 minutes to keep mixture evenly browned.
- Add cherries in the last 10 minutes of baking or after removing from oven.
- Store in an airtight container.
