Ingredients
- 4 cups old-fashioned oats
- ¾ cup raw walnuts pieces
- ½ cup raw almond pieces
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/3 cup raw honey (optional)
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl add dry ingredients, stir to combine. Combine honey and Coconut Oil in a small bowl, add to the oat mixture and mix thoroughly until oats are moist.
Spread cereal on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Place in oven and stir every 10 minutes or until the cereal has reached a golden brown color, approximately 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container. Add raisins or dried fruit before pouring in low fat milk.
Tip: This breakfast cereal is delicious, healthy, can also be eaten as a snack for school or work and is a perfect topping on yogurt and other desserts.
Tip: Do not store dry fruit with this cereal as the moisture might cause it to lose its crunch.
Tip: Try adding dried dates, raisins, apricots, Bing cherries, unsweetened coconut…just be sure to read the label as a lot of dried fruit contains some form of sugar.
Tip: Not a fan of nuts? Try adding instead 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds, 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds and 1/4 cup sesame seeds instead of the nuts. You might even like to add 1/2 cup fresh edamame in place of nuts. These all offer loads of protein and nutritional value.

This sounds amazing! I can't wait to try it. I've been looking for a boxed breakfast cereal alternative and this just might fit the bill. I just bought a big jar of local honey at the farmer's market but it doesn't say "raw." Can you tell me something about raw?
Cynthia, If you bought it at the Farmer's Market, it is likely raw. Raw honey has more nutrients than processed.
Hi – can't wait to try this recipe. Is the coconut oil measurement a cup or a tbsp?
Sandy, Whoops! It’s 1/3 cup coconut oil.
Enjoy.
