Preheat the oven to 250°F (121°C).

Grease two baking sheets with coconut oil.

Process rolled oats, apple, coconut flakes, cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a food processor until combined.

Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.

Add raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, and raisins to the bowl and mix thoroughly with a spoon.

Spread the mixture evenly on one baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for around 2 to 4 hours, tossing the mixture a couple of times during baking to prevent burning.

After baking, let cool and stir in the raisins if not added before baking.

Serve with non-dairy milk and sliced banana or fresh berries.

Store in an airtight container for 3 to 4 weeks.
