This recipe makes enough for
This recipe makes enough for my wife and I have to have breakfasts for a week. (She adds skim milk or yogurt, I add kefir or, less often, soy milk.) Very often, though, it doesn't last the whole week, as we both snack on handfuls of the stuff at various times through the day. It's good!
4 cups oatmeal
2 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
1 cup unprocessed bran
2/3 cup ground flaxseed
2or 3 tablespoons of chia seeds
1/2 cup of raw unhulled sunflower seeds
2/3 cup apple juice
1 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons minced crystallized ginger
2 cups chopped dried apples
2/3 dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 300F. Coat rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Combine oats, walnuts, bran, and flaxseed in a large bowl.
Combine apple juice, maple syrup, and ginger in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the mixture simmers. Pour over the oat mixture and stir to coat.
Spread onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring twice. Place in a bowl, and stir in apples and cranberries.
