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!
