  2. In a large bowl combine the oats, pecans, sunflower seeds and wheat germ, stir to combine.
  3. In a small saucepan, add the brown sugar, maple syrup, canola oil, cinnamon and salt. Heat over medium-medium high heat, stirring constantly until brown sugar dissolves (do not boil.) Pour the maple syrup mixture over the oats and stir until well coated.
