4 c. uncooked oatmeal
1 1/2 c. wheat germ (raw or toasted)
1 c. grated coconut
1/4 c. powdered milk
1-2 tbsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1/3 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. honey
1 tbsp. vanilla
1/2 c. sesame seeds (optional)
1/2 c. nuts (optional)
1/2 c. sunflower seeds (optional)
1/2 c. raisins (optional)

In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients. In a saucepan, combine oil, honey, and vanilla and warm. Add these to the dry ingredients (except optionals) and stir until all the particles are coated. Spread this mixture out on a greased jelly roll pan. Bake at either 250 degrees for an hour or 300 degrees for 1/2 hour.

Turn this with a spatula from time to time. When finished toasting, add your dried fruits, etc. I like to add a 6 oz. bag of fruit bits by Sun Maid. When cool, store in an airtight container.
