Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or foil.
In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, water, oil, honey, molasses, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Heat on medium low until sugar is dissolved, but don't allow to boil.
Meanwhile, in a very large bowl, combine oats, seeds, wheat germ, flax seed meal, coconut, and nuts. Blend well.
Pour prepared syrup over dry ingredients and stir until well-coated.
Spread onto prepared sheet pans.
Bake for 30 minutes, stirring after fifteen minutes.
Notes
Try using a 5-Grain Cereal Mix (such as from WinCo's bulk area) in place of the oats.
May use Apple Pie Spice or other favorite spices in place of, or in addition to, cinnamon.
Keeps up to six months in an airtight container.
