Time 1h50m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 cups rolled oats (not quick oats)
1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
4 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for greasing the baking sheet
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
1 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup shelled sunflower seeds
1/4 cup roughly chopped almonds
1/4 cup flax seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, toss the oats with the oil, melted butter and salt. Spread the mixture out on 2 baking sheets and toast in the oven for 12 minutes, shaking the pans twice during the cooking time and making sure the oats don't burn. Set aside to cool a bit.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, apple juice and molasses. Stir the mixture until combined, then heat over medium heat, stirring, until barely bubbling. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Toss together the toasted oats, rice cereal, wheat germ, pecans, sunflower seeds, almonds and flax seeds. Pour in the sugar mixture, stirring as you pour. Toss to combine; it will be sticky!
  • Thoroughly grease a baking sheet or line it with greased foil. Tip the mixture onto the baking sheet, spread out and bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool, then use a fork to make clusters. Store in a jar until ready to use.
