Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 315º
Toss oats, coconut flakes, seeds, & chopped nuts together in a large bowl, reserving the dried fruits.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry.
Mix thoroughly and pour onto a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread evenly, but don't press down.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until it begins to brown, especially at the edges. Remove from oven and mix, bringing the edges in to the center, then spread out again. Bake for approx 15 more minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning the edges.
Check for color and aroma. Should be dark golden brown for ultimate crunch and flavor.
Remove from oven and immediately top with dried fruits. Do not stir. Allow to cool completely before storing. |
