Thanks to Debbie for hosting at her home, way back on October 8, 2015, and baking with us. I believe we talked over her and didn’t hear all of her prep tips. She was more than happy to share the recipes with us, though!

Preheat oven to 300. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Mix oats, coconut, pistachios, pepitas and salt in a large bowl. Warm the brown sugar, olive oil and maple syrup over low heat stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour over oat mixture and stir till coated evenly.
