Servings: 4 cups
Ingredients
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup sliced or slivered almonds
  • ½ cup whole almonds
  • ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, 28 grams
  • ¾ cup pure maple syrup 120 ml, preferably Grade A Dark Amber
  • 1 cup dried fruits (cranberries cherries, apricots, dates, figs, and/or raisins) (optional) (I used raisins).
Instructions
  1. Mix all dry ingredients first. Add the maple syrup and oil. Mix well. Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 30 - 45 minutes at 325 F or until golden brown, stirring occasionally so the mixture browns evenly. It will get crisper as it cools down.
  2. Break big chunks. Store in air tight containers. It will last several weeks. (never lasts that long in my home though!)
