Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350º F. Toss together oats, coconut and almonds in a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk together vegetable oil and honey in a small bowl; stir into oats mixture. Spread out oats mixture on a rimmed baking sheet.

2. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes; toss with flaxseed oil. Let cool completely. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in dried cranberries, raisins, sunflower seeds and ground flaxseed.



***Letting it cool on the pan makes it stick to the pan so you may want to only let it cool for a few minutes or keep stirring it!
