    I love this one! You can adjust the seeds, nuts, and add dried fruit at the end if you want. I usually use 1/4 cup of applesauce, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1/4 cup of canola oil instead of what the recipe calls for and cook it for longer because we like it toastier.

    Ingredients
    4 cups rolled oats
    1 cup sliced almonds
    1 cup chopped pecans
    1 cup raw sunflower seeds
    1/3 cup canola oil
    1/2 cup honey
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

    Directions
    1.Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
    2.In a large bowl, stir oats, nuts and sunflower kernels together. In a separate bowl, mix together oil, honey, vanilla and cinnamon. Add to dry ingredients; mix well. Spread mixture onto two ungreased baking sheets.
    3.Bake in preheated oven, for 10 minutes, remove from oven and stir. Return to oven and continue baking until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely before storing.

    Love this recipe! Just made it yesterday and had some today. I just leave out the coconut. It definitely is filling and delicious!!
