Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 16 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded coconut
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sweetener of choice I use allulose, see notes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 6 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large baking dish or sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, oat flour, shredded coconut, granulated sweetener, and cinnamon; stir to mix evenly.
  • Add the melted coconut oil and maple syrup to the dry ingredients and mix until everything is evenly coated and clumps start to form.
  • Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, stirring and breaking up any large clumps halfway through baking.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cereal cool completely on the pan; it will crisp as it cools. Once cool, break into clusters and store as desired.

Equipment

  • large baking dish or sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • spatula or wooden spoon

Notes

  • Swap maple syrup for a sugar-free maple syrup or sugar-free honey to reduce sugar.
  • Serve with fresh berries and seeds to add fiber.
  • Use high-protein milk or nonfat Greek yogurt to increase protein.
