Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cups raw cashews coarsely chopped
- 3/4 cups raw almonds slivers
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 egg white whisked until frothy
- 1 cup chopped crystallized ginger
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300ยบ F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Mix together oats, nuts, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom in a large bowl.
- Add maple syrup, olive oil, and egg white to the dry ingredients. Stir well to combine.
- Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet and bake without stirring until deep golden brown and fragrant, about 40 to 45 minutes.
