# What You’ll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts), coarsely chopped
03 - ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
04 - ¼ cup pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
05 - ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
→ Wet Ingredients
07 - ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
08 - ¼ cup melted coconut oil or neutral oil
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Optional Add-ins
10 - ½ cup dried cranberries, raisins, or chopped dried apricots
11 - ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
# Directions:
01 - Preheat 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 until evenly mixed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 - Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly coated and small clumps begin to form.
05 - Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Gently press down with a spatula to help clusters form during baking.
06 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until evenly golden brown.
07 - Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet without disturbing. This step is crucial for clusters to set properly.
08 - Once cooled, break into clusters of desired size. Stir in dried fruit or chocolate chips if using. Store in an airtight container.
