Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 cups corn flakes (or bran flakes, or use more oats if you prefer)
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup steel cut oats
  • 1 cup almonds (or walnuts, pecans, pistachios, hazelnuts...)
  • ¼ cup shelled pumpkin seeds (or flax, or sunflower, or a mix)
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1½ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 vanilla bean, opened and seeds scraped (or use some vanilla extract)
  • Zest of one orange
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with a large piece of parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the corn flakes, old-fashioned oats, steel-cut oats, nuts, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine the oil, honey, maple syrup, orange zest and vanilla bean (seeds and pod). Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Discard the vanilla bean pod.
  5. Pour the hot liquid over the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined. Pour onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Spread it evenly and then bake for about 20 minutes, stirring it halfway thru. Watch the baking time, you want it golden and starting to dry. Remove from the oven and break up the big chunks. When cool, store in an airtight container.
