Meal type | Breakfast, Snack |
Website | Adapted from Smitten Kitchen |
Ingredients
- 3/4 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
- 2 Tbsp roasted, unsalted pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 Tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 Tsp salt
- 1 egg white
- 1 Tbsp water
- 2 Cups walnuts
Note
These nuts are great for breakfast mixed in with yogurt or as a snack on the go. Pecans would be a great substitute for walnuts if you have those on hand.
Directions
1. | Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. |
2. | In a food processor, combine oats, coconut, pumpkin seeds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse until finely chopped but not too powdery. (ie. it shouldn't look like flour) |
3. | In a large bowl, whisk egg white and water together until frothy. Add walnuts and toss to coat. Add oat mixture and toss again until evenly coated. |
4. | Spread nuts on baking sheet. You will have extra oat mixture that doesn't stick - that's ok! Just add it to the baking sheet with the walnuts. |
5. | Bake for 20 minutes. Stir nuts and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until brown. Let cool and store in an airtight container. |
