Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 325 F and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, coconut oil (it's best if all these ingredients are at room temperature) until smooth.
- In another bowl, stir together the oats, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and chia seeds. Add in the wet ingredients and stir using a rubber spatulata until everything is well coated.
