Maple Oat Cluster Trail Mix by Donna Hay

I saw this recipe in a Donna Hay magazine while sitting at the Doctor's waiting to be seen...  Not sure how old the mag was, but it had some great recipes so I photographed a few with my phone.

This one appealed as it is a healthy snack, I added some sunflower seeds to the mix, I'd also probably add some dried apricots next time I do it.

Preheat oven to 160 degrees.
Combine 2 cups rolled oats,
1/2 cup halved blanched almonds,
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds,
1/2 cup raisins,
1/2 cup apple juice,
1/3 cup maple syrup,
1 tsp vanilla extract.

Set aside for 5 mins.  Roll teaspoonfuls of mixture into balls and place on a tray lined with baking paper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes of until golden and crunchy.
Makes 48.
