Maple Oatmeal Nut Granola Bars

• 3 1/2 cups oats
• 2 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 cups mixed nuts, dried fruit and seeds (pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, almonds, goji berries, sunflower seeds, cranberries, raisins, etc)

1. On a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, toast the oats for 15 minutes on 350.
2. While the oats are baking, heat the coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla, honey, maple syrup, and brown sugar in a saucepan until it comes to a boil and stir it until it's well mixed.
3. Place all the seeds and fruits, and toasted oats in a large bowl and pour the syrup mixture over it. Mix everything up until it's all evenly covered with the syrup.
4. Then pack it down (firmly) to desired thickness on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper (same one you used to toast the granola). Bake on 350 for 20 minutes Remove from the oven and cut desired size bars before it cools and hardens. Then place in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow it to set properly!
