Whether you’re enjoying it as a topping for yogurt like me, a snack on its own, or even a breakfast cereal alternative, this simple recipe is easy to make and fully customizable to your taste.

Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free oats 
• To make sure this recipe is gluten free make sure to use certified gluten free oats. I use One Degree Organic Sprouted Rolled Oats.

• ½ - 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup

Optional Mix-Ins:

• Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, chopped dates, etc)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until well combined.

3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet.

5. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.

6. Let cool completely, then add any optional mix-ins like dried fruit or chocolate chips.

7. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
