Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Put maple syrup in a sauce pan, on the stove with cinnamon and vanilla over medium low heat. Warm syrup mixture for about 2-3 of minutes then remove from heat.
Combine oats, almonds, raisins, cranberries and seeds in a bowl. Mix in maple syrup, and stir until completely coated.
Spread the maple coated mixture out on prepared cookie sheet and roast 15 minutes.
Remove the mixture from oven and transfer to a bowl, toss the mix to cool it.
When mixture has cooled completely, toss with peanut candy.
