Chewy Granola Mix

I tweaked this recipe from a cookbook I picked up from my hospital's book sale titled "Allergy-Free recipes for Kids" by Publications International Ltd.  It is a great cookbook and I highly recommend it to anyone who has kids with food allergies.  This recipe is very filling.


1 cup gluten-free oats
1/2 cup slivered almonds (or pumpkin seeds)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup raisins
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp canola oil
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 325 then line a cookie sheet (with sides) with tin foil.  I highly recommend lightly spraying the tin foil with cooking spray after placing it over the cookie sheet.  The trail mix tends to stick a bit otherwise.  Combine oats, almonds, cranberries, raisins, maple syrup, oil, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl and mix well.  Then spread thinly on the cookie sheet.  Bake 20-25 minutes (or until the oats are golden brown) stirring half way through.  Great as a snack or with almond milk for breakfast.
Makes 5 1/2 cup servings that are 7 Weight Watchers Points each.
