Ingredients
- 5 cups old-fashioned (large flake) oats
- 1-2 cups chopped, sliced or slivered nuts (such as almonds, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts or a combination)
- 1/2 cup seeds (such as pumpkin, sunflower, flax or sesame, or a combination)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup liquid honey
- 1/4 cup canola or other mild vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp. water
- 1 cup dried fruit (such as raisins, dried cranberries, cherries or chopped figs or apricots – optional)
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325F. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, cinnamon and salt.
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, oil and water and heat, stirring, until everything is melted. Pour over the oat mixture and toss until well mixed.
Spread out onto a large rimmed baking sheet and bake in the middle of the oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. Add the dried fruit, if you’re using it, and let cool. Store in a tightly sealed container. Makes lots.
