Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 cups rolled oats ((See recipe notes))
  • 1/4 cup nuts or seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup ((See recipe notes))
  • 1/4 cup dried fruit
  • To Serve: milk or non-dairy milk substitute

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, aluminum foil, or a silicon baking sheet.  Spread the oats and nuts over the baking sheet, and drizzle the syrup over the oats.  Note: If using aluminum foil, spray or brush the foil with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Toast the oats in the oven for about 10 minutes, until the oats are golden.  Note: Some nuts will burn faster than others.  Start checking on the oats and nuts at 8 minutes, and take the tray out of oven early if the nuts are getting dark.
  • Take the tray out of the oven, and allow the mixture to cool.
  • Cut any large pieces of dried fruit into small, bite-sized pieces.  Stir the fruit into the oat mixture.
  • Serve cereal immediately with either cold or hot milk, or store in an air-tight container or bag. Use within 1-2 weeks, or freeze for up to 2 months.
