Preparation
Step 1
Heat a large skillet on the stove over low heat. Add the oats and spread them into a thin layer in the pan. Let them start to toast for a minute or two. Add the coconut oil and salt, and stir to incorporate. Continue toasting the oats for 5-7 minutes, stirring only occasionally.
Step 2
Add the maple syrup 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir to coat. (Keep your stove at a pretty low temp so the maple syrup doesn't burn).
Step 3
Once the oats look pretty toasty, add the pistachios, coconut flakes, and cinnamon. Continue to slowly cook until the pistachios and coconut flakes are toasted but not burned (about another 5 minutes). Watch carefully, as the bottom layer starts to toast, you want to stir it (before it burns)... pause and stir again so everything toasts evenly.
Step 4
Remove from the pan and stir in the goji berries.
Step 5
Let cool and enjoy as a snack or on top of your yogurt (coconut yogurt if you're vegan).

Chef's notes
If you're gluten-free, be sure to use oats that are certified gluten-free.
To double this recipe, I recommend making it in batches so that the ingredients fit in a thin layer in your large skillet. You'll want everything to toast evenly.
I used a nonstick skillet because it's my largest one - you might need to alter the cooking time if you're using cast iron.
