Preheat the oven (temperature not specified).

Mix old-fashioned rolled oats, whole pecans, whole almonds, and pumpkin seeds in a large bowl.

Add cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and salt to the dry mixture and mix well.

Melt extra virgin coconut oil and combine it with maple syrup and honey in a separate bowl.

Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer.

Bake in the oven, stirring once halfway through the baking process, until toasted (exact time not specified).

Remove from the oven and let cool completely before storing.
