Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown rice syrup or honey
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 3 Tbs coconut oil
- 2 tsp almond or vanilla extract
- 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup almonds chopped
- 1/3 cup flax seeds
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup dried fruit of your choice (I used baobab)
Instructions
-
Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium saucepan over, combine the brown rice syrup/honey, maple syrup, orange juice, coconut oil, and almond extract. Bring to a boil over medium heat, watching it so it doesn't boil over. Reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture thickens a bit.
-
Mix the oats, flax seed, coconut, almonds, and sea salt in a large bowl.
-
Pour the hot honey mixture over the oat mixture. Stir to coat thoroughly, and spread evenly on the baking sheet.
-
Bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven, mix in your dried fruit of choice and let it cool completely. It will get crispier as it cools.
-
Serve with milk or on top of yogurt. Add some chopped fresh fruit for extra yum!
