coconut oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Sunflower seeds are a budget-friendly nut alternative.

Mix together oats, pecans, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, salt, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a bowl.

Pour the mixture onto a lined baking sheet and spread it out evenly.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time.

After baking, add in the dried fruit (wild blueberries) so it doesn't get too hard.
