Confidence

Servings: 10 8 oz. servings

Ingredients

• ⅓ C vegetable oil (or coconut oil in liquid form)
• ⅓ C honey
• ⅓ C brown sugar (light or dark will work, I usually have light on hand, so I use that)

• ¾ C sweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

To start:

• Preheat oven to 350° F.
• In a large mixing bowl combine oil, honey, brown sugar, salt and vanilla extract.
• Add oatmeal, toasted almonds, and coconut.

Bake:

• Spread in a well-greased 13×9” pan.
• I prefer to use Reynolds Release to line my pan to make stirring and clean up easier. Link to info in glossary
• Bake for 8 minutes and stir well and repeat until nicely caramelized.
• Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack on counter.
