Steps
You’ll need: rimmed baking sheet, parchment, large bowl.
- Heat the oven to 325°F and line the baking sheet with parchment.
- Mix the oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseed, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
- Warm the maple syrup and oil together for 20 seconds, stir in the vanilla, and pour over the oats. Stir until everything is coated.
- Spread on the sheet and press down lightly. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway, until golden.
- Cool completely on the pan without stirring, about 30 minutes, so it forms clusters. Break up and stir in the cranberries.
