1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1 cup nonfat dry milk powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup raisins |

1. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat oven to 325°.
2. Spray two baking sheets with vegetable oil spray.
3. In a large bowl mix the oats, bran, and almonds.
4. In a smaller bowl, whisk the oil, honey vanilla, almond extract, dry milk powder, and salt.

6. Divide the mixture between the two oiled baking sheets and spread in an even layer.
