I use to make this for a summer camp I cooked for. You may have to cook the oatmeal in two batches unless you have a big roast pan. The units are in boxes mostly because I was too lazy to measure and it came out great anyways.
1 large cylander old fashioned oats
1 stick margarine(not butter, it goes bad faster)
1 teapspoon salt
1 bag sweetened coconut
1 box grape Nuts cereal
1 jar Wheat Germ
1 pound Raisins
Craisins, other dry fruit if desired.
about two cups of honey.
put the oatmeal in a big roasting pan and put the margarine on top. Bake in a 350 degree oven stirring occationally until oatmeal starts to brown and has a nutty smell to it. Watch the corners.
Top with the coconut and bake for about 10 more minutes until it starts to toast.
Combine the rest of the ingredients in a big pot sprayed with PAM (a bowl will be too small) Add in the honey while the mix is still warm and taste for desired sweetness. Let the mix sit for about an hour to let the hney be absorbed.
I like simple recipes: this one is great with milk and will keep for weeks in the refrigerator.
