  • 3 cups organic oats

  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup or 1/2 cup for a sweeter taste
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ½ tsp Sea Salt
  • 1-2 tsp ceylon cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice optional- more for a stronger flavor
  • ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat oven to 325° Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix dry ingredients together (except for the coconut flakes) in a bowl. Melt coconut oil and mix together with syrup and peanut butter if using. Pour liquid over dry ingredients and mix. Pour onto baking sheet.
  • Bake 20 mins, add coconut flakes and turn pan. Bake for another 10minutes- top should look golden. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight glass container. Store room temperature for 2 weeks or freeze up to 6months
