  2. To a mixing bowl, add your oats, walnuts, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and allspice and stir them together.

  3. To a microwave safe bowl, add your coconut oil and microwave till melted. Add your maple syrup and molasses and microwave till the mixture is very hot and comes to a low boil. Add your vanilla and stir it in.
