Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Get out a large baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. Then chop nuts and mix them with oats in a large bowl. Add some salt and set the bowl aside.

Expert tips for success

  • When chopping the nuts, don't make them too fine or it won't be easy to eat.
  • Store it in an airtight container for best results.
  • Always use fresh ingredients, so it tastes the best.
  • If giving it as a gift, don't make it more than a week in advance, so the person who receives it has time to eat it before it loses flavor.

Substitutions and variations

  • If you are allergic to peanuts, simply omit the peanuts and substitute them for any of your favorite nuts. Also, substitute the peanut oil for vegetable oil.
  • Feel free to use honey instead of maple syrup. Use the same amount of honey as you would use maple syrup, and you will be good to go.

Storing

Keep it in an airtight glass jar or container. It will last up to 3 weeks. You may find that it lasts a little longer, just try a piece and make sure it's not stale before eating a bunch.

Freezing

You can freeze it for up to 6 months. Just keep it airtight, so it's not getting freezer burn or too much cold air. A freezer bag would work or use any freezer-safe container you have on hand.
