Serves: 12
== Ingredients ==
* 1 cup sunflower seeds
* ½ cup sesame seeds
* ¼ cup almonds
* 3 cups rolled oats
* ¼ cup flour
* ½ cup brown sugar or apple juice concentrate, mixed with ½ cup water
* 5 tablespoons vegetable oil

== Directions ==
# Set oven to 350 °F.
# In a dry, ungreased skillet, mix the seeds together with the nuts. 
# Stir frequently over a low flame, until you smell a toasty, warm scent. Alternately, you can toast the nuts and seeds in a pan in a toaster oven for 2 minutes on a low setting.
# Combine the nuts and seeds with all other remaining ingredients (except dried fruit) in a large bowl. 
# Spread the resulting mixture on two cookie sheets. 
# Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden, flipping the mixture often using a spatula or spoon during baking. 
# Take out of oven. Stir in dried fruit. 
# Store in an airtight container.
