Ingredients

  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup flaxseeds
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-2 teaspoons coconut extract
  • 3/4 cups coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup agave nectar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl add oats, chia seeds, coconut, macadamia nuts, flaxseed, and salt; toss to combine.
  • In a small mixing bowl or measuring cup whisk together coconut oil, coconut extract and agave nectar.
  • Pour coconut oil mixture over the oat mixture and stir to coat evenly.
  • Spread oats evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Stir oats on pan about 1/2 way through to evenly bake. If the oats are baking quickly, then you can remove from the oven earlier, you don't want burnt oats.
