🔸 Ingredients:

🔸 Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Chop nuts: Roughly chop all nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, peanuts, cashews) and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  3. Add seeds and oats: Stir in pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, oatmeal, and cinnamon.

  4. Add cranberries: Mix in the dried cranberries.

  5. Mix wet ingredients: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the honey just until runny (not hot). If using, stir in applesauce or mashed banana.

  6. Combine: Pour the wet mixture over the dry mix and stir thoroughly until evenly combined. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb moisture.

  7. Form cookies: Using your hands or a spoon, form small cookie-shaped rounds and place them on the baking sheet. Press down slightly to flatten.

  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until lightly golden. They should hold together but still be a bit soft.

  9. Cool completely on a wire rack. They firm up as they cool.

  10. 🔸 Storage:
