Servings: persons

6 cups rolled oats
1 cup whole oat flour
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup wheat bran
2 cups raw nuts (use a variety, walnuts, fancy mixed nuts, sliced almonds, etc.)
1 cup raw pepita seeds
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
3 tbsp. unsweetened shredded coconut

3 cups raisens
other dried fruit that has no added sugar.

1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees (I used convection oven which spreads heat evenly, if you don't have one, shift the pans every time you stir to make sure they all get even heat) Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl, (except dried fruit) Heat honey (and maple syrup) in saucepan so that it becomes thinner consistancy.
2
Pour warmed honey and oil over dry ingredients, mix well.
3

4
Toast for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.

Remove and stir one cup of dried fruit into each pan.

Let cool completely, then store in airtight container.

Great for breakfast cereal, snack, yogurt or fresh fruit topping!

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.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
