Ingredients

• 4 cups oats (NOT quick-cook or instant)
• 1 cup whole almonds
• 1/2 cup flax seeds
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup canola oil

• 1 cup diced dried apricots
• 1/2 cup dried banana slices

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Mix oats, almonds, flax seeds, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. In a saucepan warm the oil and honey. Whisk in the vanilla extract.

Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture and mix gently, but well. Mix with a spatula and eventually your hands. Spread out onto a sheet pan and bake for 40 minutes, stirring half-way through the baking.

Cool and break up any lumps. Mix in the dried fruit.
