Instructions
- Heat oven to 300 degrees. Lightly grease or spray a large 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet.

- Pour over oat-nut mixture and stir to thoroughly coat. Spread evenly on baking sheet.
- Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes, until oats are toasted and entire mixture is slightly browned. Remove from oven and gently stir in dried fruit.
