1. In a large bowl, combine the oats, oat bran, and flax flour.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk the skim-milk powder, oil, honey, almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour the mixture over the oats and stir until well combined.

3. Divide the mixture between the 2 sheet pans (greased) and spread in an even layer.
