Serves 8

Ingredients

3 cups of rolled oats (not instant or quick cooking)
1 cup of mixed nuts & seeds: raw almonds (slivered), raw white sesame seeds, raw sunflower seeds, raw walnuts (chopped into pieces)

½ to ¾ cup maple syrup or agave (or a combination of both)

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F.

6. Transfer to a sealed container and store in a cool place.
7. Serve with a dollop of yogurt and choice of seasonal fresh fruit. This can be served for breakfast or anytime snack.
