Note
Additional Notes
Avoid stirring too much while baking so the clusters stay intact. Letting the mix cool fully helps the honey and oil bind the flakes.
Optional Substitutions or Variations
- Swap honey for maple syrup for a vegan version.
- Replace mixed nuts with walnuts, almonds, or pecans.
- Add raisins or dried cranberries after baking.
Storage
Store in a sealed jar for up to two weeks. For extra crunch, toast briefly before serving.
