   Let heat until melted, stirring from time to time.

5. 5

   Stir the oats, dried fruit, and three-quarters of the seeds into the melted butter mixture until thoroughly combined.

   Spread the mixture out evenly in the prepared pan, smoothing the top as you go.

8. 8

   Bake for about 30 minutes, until golden in the center and golden brown on the edges.
