Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups gluten-free oats
- 1 cup cashews, roughly chopped
- 1 cup almonds, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, chopped cashews, chopped almonds, and pumpkin seeds.
- Add Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey until it becomes runny. Pour the honey over the dry ingredients, then sprinkle with cinnamon.
