- 1 1/4 c. old fashioned oats
- 1/4 c. sunflower seeds
- 1/4 c. flax seeds
- 3/4 c. chopped pecans
- 4 Tbsp coconut oil

- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 c. puffed rice cereal
- 1/2 c. chopped dried apples
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 9x9 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving excess hanging over sides for easy removal.
Spread oats, sunflower seeds, nuts and flax seeds out in an even layer on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Baked for 5-10 minutes until the oats just start to brown and become fragrant. Watch closely.
In a small saucepan bring honey, coconut oil and brown sugar blend to a simmer over medium heat. Stir to dissolve sugar for 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl combine cereal, dried apples, cinnamon and salt. Stir in oats and honey mixture in and stir until mixture is well coated.
Press mixture down in prepared 9x9 pan. Refrigerate for at least a hour before serving. Cut into bars.
