Description
A fall-inspired cereal: sweet, spicy, and full of crunch and chewy dried cranberries and apricots. Lovely to enjoy with a mug of chai on cool mornings.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Old Fashioned Oats
- ¾ cups Sliced Almonds
- ¼ cups Packed Brown Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- ¼ cups Honey
- 3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1-½ teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- ½ cups Chopped Dried Apricots
- ½ cups Dried Cranberries
Preparation
1. In a large bowl, combine oats and almonds, set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, oil, honey, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla.
3. Pour over oat mixture; stir to coat. Spread in a large shallow baking pan lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool. The coating should be caramelized on the oat mixture and it should look a nice light brown.
5. Add dried apricots and dried cranberries. Store in an airtight container. I like Mason jars!
6. Eat it up. It should last a month … but it won’t because it is sooo good!
