1-2 c. honey, molasses, or syrup
3 tbsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. (or less) salt (optional)
Cinnamon, nutmeg, other spices to taste

In a large bowl, stir oil into oats to coat. Stir in nuts and seeds. Bake at 250 degrees in flat pan, stirring occasionally, until nuts are baked (30-45 minutes).

Return to baking pan for about 20 minutes more. Remove from oven. Let cool until crisp. Add raisins and other dried fruits.
