Makes 12 Servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 2 cups Toasty O’s cereal or Cheerios

- Combine the oats, Toasty O’s, almonds, flaxseed, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Whisk together the maple syrup, apple juice, canola oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl, then stir into the oat mixture until well coated.
