PREPARATION:
- Preheat the oven to 350* and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, wheat germ, flax seed, coconut, sunflower seeds, pecans, almonds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly combined.
- In a medium bowl, combine the pure olive oil and maple syrup. I like to mix these in a 4-cup Pyrex measuring pitcher, great for measuring liquids and a clean pour. Whisk with a small whisk or fork until emulsified (thick and combined).
- Pour maple syrup mixture on top of the oat mixture. Stir well, until oats are wet and evenly coated. Spread evenly across the rimmed baking sheet and bake for 30- 35 minutes until evenly toasted, stirring every 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely, about 1 hour, before adding cranberries. Toss to combine and store in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks.
