After looking at the pile for a while, I live decided to assort the cranberries together with raisins from the nuts together with seeds.  I pose the nuts on a baking canvas together with toasted them inwards the oven at 275 degrees for xv minutes. 

I chopped the almonds together with a few pecans.  I also added chia together with flax seeds.

I intend in that place are pepitas, sunflower together with peanuts too. 

When I tell I cleaned out the cabinet, I hateful I cleaned out the cabinet!

I chopped upward close i loving cup of pitted dates.

Now I needed something to bind it all together.  I went dorsum to the cabinet and scooped close 1/3 loving cup all natural peanut butter, 1/2 loving cup brownish rice syrup together with a splash of vanilla together with salt.  I added the dates to the syrup peanut butter mixture to rehydrate them a bit.  I warmed it inwards the microwave for close i infinitesimal together with stirred to combine.

In a large bowl I added ii cups of oats together with all the raisins together with cranberries I had on hand.

I added unsweetened coconut, close 1/4 cup.

I mixed the nuts, oatmeal, seeds, together with syrup mixture together.

Press into a modest baking dish lined alongside parchment paper.

Then I popped it inwards the oven together with baked for close xx minutes at 350 degrees.

Even though these convey a lot of competing flavors (peanut butter, cranberries, coconut) they actually turned out pretty good.  I allowed the mixture to cool together with cutting them into modest cookie sized snacks.
