Categories     Berry     Fruit     Nut

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups rolled oats
1 cup slivered almonds, blanched
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup sesame seeds
1 cup wheat germ
2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup sunflower seeds, unsalted
1 cup canola oil
1 1/2 cups honey
1 cup raisins
1 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, wheat germ, coconut and sunflower seeds.
  • In a small pan over medium heat, stir together the oil and honey. Cook and stir until blended. You could also do this in a large measuring cup in the microwave, heating for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Pour over the oat mixture, and stir to coat evenly.
  • Spread out in an even layer on two cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the oats and nuts are toasted.
  • Immediately after it comes out of the oven, stir in the raisins and dried cranberries. Let stand until cooled, and stir again to break up any large clusters.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, but I think it won't be around that long!
