Ingredients

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350° F. In a bowl add the oats, and cinnamon and give it a mix. Then add in the melted coconut oil and maple syrup and stir well. See notes for adding in optional nut butters. (If using pumpkin seeds that are not sprouted add them in here too, see notes).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly out. Place in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. Let cool completely. Toss in the sprouted pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds and stir until combined. (Feel free to add any other chopped nuts or dried fruit you would like as well).

Notes
Storage: Store in a sealed container or zip lock bag for up to 1 week on the counter.
Other mix in options: Feel free to add other chopped nuts when you add in the pumpkin seeds. After baked and fully cooled feel free to add chocolate chips or dried fruits as well.
Pumpkin Seeds: I like to use Sprouted because it has the most bioavailable minerals but regular pumpkin seeds are fine. If using regular pumpkin seeds I would add them in for the baking process.
Nut Butter: For more flavor feel free to add 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite runny natural nut butter stirred in with the maple syrup and coconut oil.
