2 C whole oats

1 C sliced almonds (I used slivered almonds)

1/2 C wheat germ
-
3 T unsalted butter
-
2/3 C honey

1/4 C light brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp vanilla
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1/2 C chopped dates
-
1/2 C chopped dried apricots

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a large sheet pan, mix together the oats, almonds and coconut. Toast in the oven for 10 minutes then dump into a large mixing bowl. Add the wheat germ. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
-
While oats are toasting, combine the butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 1 minutes once it reaches a boil. Pour over the ingredients in the bowl. Add the dried fruit and mix well. Dump into a greased 8 x 13 pan and press firmly with wet hands.

Bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool completely (about 3 hours) before slicing and serving.
