Author: The Kitchen Prep
- ⅓ cup coconut oil or butter, melted
- 3 tablespoon honey
- ¼ cup fig preserves such as Bonne Maman
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2½ cups rolled oats
- ¾ cups walnuts roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- Optional: Dried figs chopped
Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together oil (or butter) honey & preserves in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute to help them loosen up and become more liquid. Stir in vanilla extract.
Toss dry ingredients in with wet ingredient and mix until well-combined.
Spread mixture onto prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, giving it a stir every 15 minutes or so to promote crispness and even toasting.
Let cool before storing.
Variations
- Use a different type of nut such as almonds or cashews.
- Add chopped dried fig or dried apricot for extra texture and flavor.
- Sprinkle in a few tablespoons of coconut flakes.
Diet-Specific Substitutions
- Vegan: Substitute date syrup or maple syrup for honey.
- Gluten-free: Oats, in and of themselves, are naturally gluten-free, but can often be contaminated during processing or storage. To be certain that the oats are gluten-free, buy oats that specify this on the packaging.
