Ingredients
4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
2 cups almonds, sliced
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup canola oil
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
2/3 cup dried tart cherries
1/3 cup dried cranberries
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray (do not spray if you are using a nonstick baking sheet).
- Combine the oats, almonds, sesame seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt in a large bowl. Combine the maple syrup, honey, oil, and almond extract in a separate bowl. Add maple syrup mixture to oat mixture and stir well to combine. Spread mixture in an even layer on a nonstick baking sheet. (If you do not have non-stick, coat the pan with cooking spray before using).
- Bake, stirring every 10 minutes, until the mixture is lightly browned, about 40-45 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir in the cherries and cranberries. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
