Ingredients

  • 4 cups old-fashioned or quick-cooking rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup unsalted raw sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup walnuts or macadamia nuts, chopped into halves or quarters
  • 11/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 11/2 cups assorted unsulfured dried fruits (try tropical fruits like dried pineapple and dried papaya), chopped
  • Grated zest of 2 oranges
  • 3/4 cup raw mild-flavored honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F and set aside 2 rimmed baking sheets.
  • Combine the oats, sunflower seeds, walnuts, coconut, dried fruits, and zest in a large bowl. Heat the honey and coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat, whisk to thoroughly combine, then pour over the oat mixture and stir until everything is well coated.
  • Divide the mixture between the baking sheets and spread into a thin layer. Bake, stirring every 10 minutes, for about 40 minutes, until toasty golden brown. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature.
