Ingredients
Method
In large bowl, stir together oats, cereal, pepitas, pecans, sunflower seeds and flaxseeds.
In saucepan, cook brown sugar, maple syrup, oil, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Pour over oat mixture, tossing to coat.
Spread on 2 parchment paper–lined baking sheets. Bake in top and bottom thirds of 325°F oven, switching and rotating pans halfway through and stirring twice, until crisp and golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
Let cool on pans. Break up any large clumps. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 3 weeks.)
Makes 8 cups.
