I've been using this "granola" recipe for years.  It's VERY good
and turns out well even when I cut back on the amount of sugar.

HOMEMADE CEREAL MIX

Nutritious and tasty, uses fewer exotic ingredients than some
cereal recipes and is less expensive.

1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
6 cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned rolled oats
1 jar (12 ounces) wheat germ
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons valilla extract, divided
Golden raisins or other dried fruit of your choice (optional)

Dissolve sugar in 1/3 cup water in saucepan and boil 1 minute;
cool slightly.  Mix thoroughly dry ingredients, except fruit,
using a very large pan or bowl.  Warm oil slightly and add
1 teaspoon vanilla.  Mix warm syrup and remaining vanilla.
Pour syrup and oil over dry ingredients and mix well.  Put into
2 greased rather shallow baking dishes and spread evenly.  Bake
in preheated 200 degree oven, stirring from time to time, for 2
hours, or until moisture and stickiness are absorbed and cereal
feels dry and is a rich golden brown.  Cool, then stir in dried
fruit in whatever proportions you like.  Makes about 9 cups
before adding fruit.

NOTE:  Do not attempt to speed up cooking process by using a
higher temperature since cereal will burn.


Enjoy!
