- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Pour mixture into a large bowl then add remaining 1/4 cup oats, dried cranberries, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds and cinnamon.
Chop the remaining 1/2 cup pecans and 1/2 cup almonds then add to the bowl, stir everything together and set aside.
Add honey, coconut oil, and salt to a small saucepan then bring to a bubble over medium heat, stirring once or twice.
Turn heat down slightly, simmer for 1 minute, then remove the saucepan from heat.
Pour over the dry ingredients and stir well to combine.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

You can store the bars in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
Eat 1-2 bars a day as a snack.
