1-1/2 T. water

Mix oats, brown sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the Maple Balsamic, Blood Orange EVOO, water and vanilla over low heat. Stir until the syrup mixture comes to a boil; remove from heat.
Move the oven rack to the middle. Turn oven on to 300 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with sides lightly with cooking spray.
Drizzle the syrup mixture into the oats while stirring. Spread the mixture onto the cookie sheet and add the pepitas.
