Ingredients: 6 cups old fashioned (not quick) oats
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup sliced almonds, or broken-up pecans
3/4 cup shredded coconut
Liquid ingredients:
1 cup honey
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup canola oil
Instructions: Combine dry ingredients in a large roasting pan. Stir together the liquid ingredients (they combine best if you warm up the honey), then pour over dry ingredients and mix well. Spread out evenly in the roasting pan.
Bake at 275 degrees, stirring often, until the mixture is a deep golden brown. This may take 2 hours or more. If it seems to be browning too quickly, turn the temperature down. Be sure not to burn! Allow to cool before stirring in raisins or other dried fruit if you wish (do not roast raisins!). You may substitute similar amounts of your favorite nuts and seeds for those listed, as you wish, to vary the flavors and textures.
