A simple snack or a crunchy topping for yogurt parfaits, this recipe uses the delicious flavors of cinnamon and maple to complement the light flavor of rolled oats.
However, there is an added richness and nutritional value that comes from the addition of hemp hearts, flax seed, and pumpkin seeds to the mix.
This recipe can also be easily modified – switch out the pumpkin seeds for almonds or the maple for honey.
