  • Combine your walnut/oat mixture with all of the other ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.

Notes

** If you can find a non-stick baking sheet, you can skip both the parchment paper and the olive oil. I found mine at Bed, Bath & Beyond.
The original recipe had a different spice combination which you are welcome to try: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and a 1/4 teaspoon cloves instead of the All Spice and nutmeg, no vanilla and only 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
