6 cups of oatmeal

1/2 cup wheat germ

1 1/2 cups slivered almonds

2 1/2 cups chopped pecans

1 cup coconut (flaked)

1/2 dark brown sugar ( I use a little more)

1/2 cup non flavored vegetable oil

1 tsp cinnamon

2 TBS vanilla

1-2 cups assorted dried fruit (I use dried cherries)

1-2 cups of add-in (mini chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, cereals)

Preheat oven to 225 degrees.

Mix all ingredients except dried fruit and add-ins in a large bowl. Mix well to coat evenly. I omit the coconut, not all of us are fans. Distribute on 2 large rimmed baking sheets.

Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn every 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and cool completely.

Stir in dried fruit and add-ins. I put dried fruit and add-ins in individual bowls and let everyone make their own customized blends if we have it for breakfast.
