  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
  • Pulse pecans in a food processor until pulverized. In a large bowl, combine pecans, oats, pumpkin seeds, coconut, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
