Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup cashews
  • 1/4 cup walnut halves
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup whole almonds
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons dried currants, blueberries, or raisins optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and olive oil until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the assorted nuts, seeds, oats, and unsweetened shredded coconut. Pour in maple syrup mixture and stir together until well combined.
