Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chopped raw almonds, 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1 tsp ground cardamom, 1 tbsp fresh orange zest, and 1/2 tsp salt; mix well.
  3. Step 3: In a small saucepan, gently warm 1/2 cup honey and 1/4 cup coconut oil over low heat until melted and combined, then remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  4. Step 4: Pour the honey-coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until all oats and nuts are evenly coated.
  5. Step 5: Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring gently every 10 minutes to create clusters and ensure even toasting, until golden and fragrant.
  6. Step 6: Let cool completely on the baking sheet to allow clusters to harden before breaking into pieces and storing in an airtight container.
