1/4 c. corn or canola oil
1/2 c. honey
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 1/2 c. old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 c. chopped almonds
1/4 c. sunflower seeds, shelled
1/4 c. raisins
1/4 c. date pieces or dried apricots, chopped

Great on other cereals, over ice cream or yogurt, as a trail snack or just for snacking on its own.

Preheat oven to 325°. Combine oil, honey and vanilla; mix. Pour liquid over the oats, almonds and sunflower seeds in a large mixing bowl. Toss the mix until well coated. May use hands! Spread the mix evenly on cookie sheet or baking pan and bake 15 minutes. Stir well. Continue baking another 10 to 15 minutes, checking and stirring every 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven and stir in dried fruit. Allow to cool, then store in airtight container.
