3 cups rolled organic oats
1 cup organic barley flakes
1 cup sprouted Chia seeds* see note on this below
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup organic olive oil
1/2 cup mesquite local honey
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Celtic salt
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup organic pumpkin seeds
1 cup organic mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans)
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup organic raisins
Directions:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees
In a very large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, coconut, brown sugar and Chie seeds. In a separate bowl, combine honey, oil, vanilla and salt. Pour honey mixture over oat mixture and mix well to combine. Spread onto 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper. You can sprinkle a little maple syrup over the top if you desire it to be a little sweeter..additionally you can do this with just a tad more brown sugar to make it sparkle. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a large bowl and add dried fruit and mix until combined. This makes a very large container, and kept sealed tightly, will keep for a couple of weeks.
