Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups 288 g old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups 225 g roughly chopped pecans
  • ¾ cup 65 g unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ⅓ cup 45 g hulled sunflower seeds
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup 90 g virgin, unrefined coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • ½ cup 160 g pure maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C) with a rack in the center. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the oats, pecans, coconut, sunflower seeds, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  3. Stir together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated.
  4. Press the mixture into one even layer on the prepared pan. Bake at 275°F for 1 hour.
  5. Rotate the pan, increase the oven to 300°F (148°C), and bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden, dry, and fragrant. Cool completely before breaking into clusters and storing.
