2 cups unsweetened, grated coconut (optional)

1 cup chopped Brazil nuts

1 cup pecan pieces

1 cup almond pieces

3/4 cup wheat germ

1 teaspoon good quality salt

1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

1 and 1/2 cups good quality vegetable oil

1 cup honey

1/2 cup water

Combine oats, nuts, wheat germ and seeds in large bowl. Put honey, oil, water, salt and vanilla in the blender, and process to emulsify oil and water. Pour over dry mixture and mix thoroughly. Spread mixture on three large cookie sheets and bake at 250 degrees for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Be careful not to over bake. Remove from oven and stir occasionally as it cools. Store in cool, dry place or refrigerate for longer shelf life.

Notes:

You can interchange the nuts that you use, based on what you like and what you have on hand. For instance you can use peanuts, instead of pecans or two cups of pecans instead of cashews, etc.
