Preheat oven to 325°F.
Spray heavy large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Combine oats, almonds, coconut, and pecans in large bowl.
Combine cranberry juice concentrate, brown sugar, oil, cinnamon, and allspice in medium saucepan.
Bring to boil, whisking until sugar dissolves. Pour hot syrup over oat mixture; stir to coat evenly.
