Toss together the oats, seeds and nuts, raisins, and salt in a large bowl.

In a medium pan, melt the butter and honey until smooth and silky.

Drizzle over the oat-seed-nut-raisin mixture.

Mix VERY well to ensure all surfaces are coated with the butter-honey mixture.

Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Spread the seeded mixture evenly over both sheets and bake, stirring every so often, for 20-25 minutes, until fragrant and golden brown.

Remove from the oven. Cool.
