Servings: persons

4 cups oats
2 cups puffed wheat cereal
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup bran flakes
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup flax seed
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 1/2 cups tropical fruit juice
1/8 cup honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
cooking spray
1/4 cup craisins
1/4 cup dried apricot (chopped)

1
Preheat oven to 325u00b0.
2
Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl.
3
Combine the juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced to 2/3 cup.
4
Remove from heat; stir in honey. Slowly pour juice mixture and oil over oat mixture, tossing to coat.
5
Spread oat mixture evenly onto two baking pans coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325u00b0 for 40 minutes or until golden, stirring frequently (keep an eye on it while cooking, the sugars in the juice cause it to brown really quickly).
6
Cool slightly; add apricots and craisins. Cool completely, and store in an airtight container.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
