  • Author: Amy Price

Description

Start your morning with a taste of autumn. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 3/4 cup pecans or walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup hemp hearts
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup apple sauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp maple extract
  • 1 egg white (optional but helps to make larger chunks!)
  • 2/3 cup dried apple slices, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat over to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Mix together the oats, pumpkin seeds, pecans/walnuts, hemp hearts, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.
  3. Melt your coconut oil and mix together with maple syrup, apple sauce, vanilla, maple extract and egg white (if using) in a separate bowl).
  4. Combine all ingredients, making sure to coat everything.
  5. Spread out on the baking sheet and press everything down so that it’s compact.
  6. Bake for 13 minutes, then add the chopped dried apple slices, give everything a stir and press down again.
  7. Bake for 13-15 more minutes, until lightly browned. You can bake for a couple minutes more if you want it really crunchy but watch so that it doesn’t get over-baked.
  8. Let cool fully on baking sheet before breaking into pieces.
  9. Enjoy!
