Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F and set the oven rack in the middle.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine slow-cooking oats, ground walnuts, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds and cinnamon.
- In a smaller glass bowl, combine honey and coconut oil and warm in microwave or on stovetop until liquid. Add vanilla and water.
- Add wet mixture to the dry, stirring until crumbly. Spread onto a 13-by-18-inch baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes and rotating pan to compensate for any hot spots in the oven. Remove from oven and cool.
