Ingredients

  • 1 - Coconut cooking spray
  • 1 cup - organic old fashioned oats, dry
  • 1 cup - organic quinoa, uncooked
  • 1/2 cup - coconut flakes
  • 1 cup - raw pecans, rough chopped

  • 1/4 teaspoon - salt
  • 1/2 cup - peanut butter, all-natural
  • 3/4 cup - honey

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a ceramic or glass 9X13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
