This is a delicious cereal with milk or just a snack.   

6 cups oatmeal (regular oatmeal)
1.5 cups chopped pecans
2/3 cup wheat germ
1 cup sunflower seeds
2 cups sweetened coconut (optional)

combine the above ingredients in a bowl and mix well

1 cup butter
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup light brown sugar

melt butter and combine with honey and sugar

pour over the dry mixture and combine so that it is all “wet”  (I actually had to double the “wet” ingredients.  )

Pour mixture into 2 pans and spread out evenly.  Place one rack in the oven at the bottom of the oven and the other at the top of the oven.  Place one pan at the top and the other at the botttom and bake at 350 for about 50-60 minutes stirring often and swapping the dishes about half way through. 

When cereal is done, (it will be brown and crispy), place it on waxed paper and spread it out and let it cool.  Sprinkle on raisins or dried cranberries (or your favorite dried fruit). 

Refrigerate when done.  It keeps in the freezer for up to 6 months.
