A cozy blend of warm oats and crunchy clusters for a wholesome snack.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 cups rolled oats

02 - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

03 - 1/4 cup ground flaxseed

04 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

05 - 1/8 teaspoon salt

06 - 1/3 cup pure maple syrup

07 - 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

01 - Set the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a large bowl, mix rolled oats, chopped walnuts, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt thoroughly.

03 - Whisk together maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully blended.

04 - Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.

05 - Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in small clusters and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through for even toasting.

06 - Allow clusters to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to an airtight container for storage.

They're ready in under twenty minutes, making them perfect for when you want something warm and satisfying without the fuss
The clusters stay crispy on the outside while remaining chewy inside, giving you multiple textures in every handful
One batch fills your kitchen with a warmth that makes everyone gather around, even before it's cooled

The biggest mistake I made at first was impatience. Pulling them from the oven too early leaves them soft, but staying those extra two minutes transforms them into crispy treasures.
Stirring halfway through baking is not optional. It ensures every oat gets toasted evenly and prevents burning at the edges while the center stays pale.

Keep a close eye on your oven the last few minutes. Every oven is different, and the line between golden and burnt is sometimes just one minute
If you want extra crunch, reduce the honey slightly and add a tablespoon of maple syrup for a different flavor note that still binds everything together
