This is one of my family's favorite breakfasts. I love to dress it up with fresh mint and golden kiwi. It gives them the energy they need to get through the days chores. Wilma Beller, Hamilton, Ohio Ingredients:
4 cups old-fashioned oats |
1/3 cup honey or molasses |
1/4 cup canola oil |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup chopped nuts |
3/4 cup uncooked oat bran cereal |
1 cup flaked coconut |
1 cup raisins |
1 cup chopped dates |
yogurt and fresh fruit, optional |
Directions:
1. Spread rolled oats on a 15-in. x 10-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 5 minutes. Stir; bake 5 minutes longer or until toasted. Meanwhile, combine honey and oil in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Remove from the heat; stir in extract. Remove oats from oven; toss with nuts, bran and coconut.
2. Pour hot honey mixture over oat mixture; toss well. Return to oven and bake 20-25 minutes, stirring every 6 minutes. Remove from oven. Stir in raisins and dates. Cool. Store in an airtight container. Serve with yogurt and fresh fruit of your choice if desired. Yield: 8 cups.
