Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). I love this part because the warmth fills my kitchen with a cozy atmosphere. Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make clean-up a breeze. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt. I get so excited mixing these ingredients! The smells are just amazing, and the textures are all so different—it’s like a little party in the bowl! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
