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!

Yum! Loved this. I have made it twice. Each time I was low on sugar, and this last time I upped the Pumpkin Pie spice (but mine was kind of old). Always very good :)
