Ingredients
2 Cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup shredded coconut *
1 cup of chopped nuts (e.g. sliced almonds, hazelnuts)
2 Tablespoon wheat germ *
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 Tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract *
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cup chopped dried fruit, any combination of apricots, rasins or blueberries

Directions
Butter a 9 by 9-inch glass baking dish and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread the oats, sunflower seeds, almonds, and wheat germ onto a half-sheet pan. Place in the oven and toast for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Combine honey, brown sugar, butter, extract and salt in bowl and microwave it until sugar disolved, about 1 minute.
Remove oat and nuts from the oven and reduce the heat to 300 degrees F. Immediately add the oat mixture to the liquid mixture, add the dried fruit, and stir to combine. Turn mixture out into the prepared baking dish and press down, evenly distributing the mixture in the dish and place in the oven to bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
