Oven Roasted Maple Gorp
Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray

3/4 cup maple syrup
1 cinnamon stick
1 vanilla bean, split
1 cup oats
1 cup peeled hazelnuts
2 cups whole natural almonds
1/2 cup golden raisins, a couple of handfuls
1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries, (recommended: Craisins brand) a couple of
handfuls
1/2 cup shelled pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
1 cup chocolate and candy coated peanuts (recommended: Peanut M&Ms)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Place maple syrup on the stove with cinnamon and vanilla over medium low heat to
infuse the flavor. Warm syrup a couple of minutes, remove.

Combine oats, hazelnuts, almonds, raisins, cranberries and seeds in a bowl. Toss
with maple syrup and remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla bean. Spread the maple
coated mixture out on a cookie sheet and roast 15 minutes. Remove the nuts from
oven and transfer to another cold pan, tossing the mix to quick-cool it. Once
cool, toss with peanut candy and eat or pack up for a hike!
