Maple Almond Apricot Cereal

Reminds me of a simpler Honey Bunches of Oats.

2 c rolled oats

½ C bran flakes

¼ tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp maple syrup

2 Tbsp brown sugar

2-3 Tbsp golden roasted flax seeds (very important!)

1 Tbsp canola oil

1/3 C dried fruit (chopped dried apricots, dried cherries)

1/4 C almond slices

Bake at 250 degrees on a jelly roll pan sprayed with oil about 25 minutes, stirring after the first 15 minutes. Add the almonds and bake for remaining 10 minutes. Cool completely and mix with fruit.

Serves 4-5
