Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 cups oats (old fashioned)
  • 1 1/2 cups slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (shelled, aka pepitos)
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 5 to 6 tablespoons honey (I use maple syrup)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Combine the ingredients in the crock pot set on "high". Mine is the large size (6 qt) so not sure how this would work with a smaller crock. Don't cover with the lid. You can set the lid cocked so steam will escape to start with. Stir after 30 minutes and remove lid then keep an eye on it. Continue to stir every 15 minutes or so. It is supposed to take 2 hrs but I would watch it closely after the first hour. Once it starts to brown, it can burn quickly!

  • Step 2: Allow to cool and then add dried fruit if desired. After COMPLETELY cool, store in an airtight container.

  • Step 3: (Substitutions are endless... for butter you could use coconut oil. I have already mentioned honey and maple syrup, you could probably try brown sugar. Obviously the ginger could be replaced with cinnamon or more spices can be added. Have fun!)
