Dry Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside for later.
- Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl: pumpkin seeds, nuts, oats, flaxseed, spices and salt, if using. Stir until well mixed.
- Add all wet ingredients to a medium bowl: coconut sugar, coconut oil, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until very well mixed.

Is it possible to substitute additional almond butter for the oil? Thanks!
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
Hi Pamela, I haven’t tried that myself, but I do worry that the almond butter might be too thick. If you try it, let me know how it turns out. 🙂
