Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 50 min
Total time: 1 h 45 min
Yield: 5 cups
Ingredients: 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats; 1/2 cup almond flour*; 1/4 cup whole wheat flour; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 3/4 cup slivered almonds; 1/3 vegetable oil or melted coconut oil; 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar; 1/4 cup pure maple syrup; 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; Pour 1/2 cup almonds into a food processor or blender. Pulse a few times until they are finely ground. Do not let it grind for too long or the nuts will release too much of their oils and get pasty (which is what you would want if you were making almond butter.); Once the nuts are ground, pass them through a sifter. Any larger pieces that didn't make it through can be ground up again.
