Steps
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Place oats, coconut, nuts, and seeds in large bowl. Pour in honey, maple syrup, orange juice, coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon and salt and stir until all coated. Toss in dried apricots and cherries.
Pour on a lightly greased cookie sheet or covered with a Silpat or parchment paper.
Bake for 35 - 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes until lightly golden brown.

Use it top Greek yogurt, acai bowls or just eat it all by itself as a snack.

Helen Inglis on 2019-02-02 (5 stars): Just wanted to leave a note to say thank you so much for the recipe! I replace coconut oil with olive oil, and use pumpkin seeds in place of the coconut, but otherwise I make it just as your recipe. The pumpkin pie spice just adds a whole new amazing dimension to it! I love how this smells while it's baking, and it's gaining legendary status among our friends and family or all that I can't stop talking about it! I have it in the morning with 2% Greek yogurt, a tiny drizzle of honey and a handful of raspberries and it's just glorious. Thank you so much!
