Good breakfast cereal with milk or yogurt

Ingredients

• 6 6 6 c oatmeal (not quick kind)
• 2 2 to c bran flakes (I leave out due to sugar content)
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 c whole wheat flour (I sometimes leave out)
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 c walnuts (I use pecans)
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 c powdered milk
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 c sunflower seeds
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 c sliced almonds
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 c wheat germ
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 c unsweetened coconut (I leave out because one member of household hates coconut)
• to to taste
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 c vegetable oil (I use canola)
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 c peanut butter
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 c honey (I use much less)

Preparation

Step 1

Mix all cereals and dry ingredients (I hold back the pecans and raisins and add them in last round of baking) together in a large bowl.

Heat oil, peanut butter, and honey in a glass cup in microwave or on low heat on stovetop until blended. Mix this in with dry ingredients to coat evenly. Moisten with 1/2 cup warm water.

Spread mixture evenly in sheet pan and bake at 325, rotating pan and stirring to keep edges from getting too brown. I generally do three 12-minute rounds and add nuts and raisins before last round.

Let mixture cool and store in airtight container.
