Yields1 Serving

4 c. old-fashioned (large flake) oats

2 c. sliced or slivered almonds

1 c. shredded coconut

1/4 t. fine sea salt

1/2 c. creamy peanut butter

1/3 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. maple syrup (the real stuff!) or liquid honey

1 c. dried fruit, such as raisins, cranberries, cherries, chopped dried figs, dates or apricots

Preheat the oven to 325F. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, almonds, coconut and salt.

In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar and maple syrup over medium heat and stir until everything is melted and smooth.

Pour over the oat mixture and toss until well combined. Spread the mixture out onto a large rimmed sheet pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring once or twice, until pale golden and crunchy/clumpy. Let cool and stir in the dried fruit. Store in an airtight container or in individual zip-lock baggies.
