Granola Bars (or cereal)

Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup wheat germ
• 2 cups coconut
• 1/2 cup bran
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup mild tasting oil (we used olive)
• 1/2 honey
• 1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 1/2 cups total chopped nuts (we used pecan and almond)
• 2-2 1/2 cups dried fruit
• 1 beaten egg
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/3 cup corn syrup

Directions

If you are making granola, mix together all dry ingredients. If you are making cereal, don't mix in the nuts till later.
Mix together the wet ingredients, then add to dry ingredients.
Lightly oil 2 baking sheets (we used one commercial half sheet). Spread mixture onto sheets, pat down. Bake at 250 till golden brown. Cut into bars immediately, then remove from pans when cool.
If making cereal, sprinkle in pans, bake at 250, mixing every 10 min, until golden brown. After the first 20 min, add the chopped nuts to the mix, toss, continue baking.

**You may need to adjust the baking time. When we made our first batch, we needed to keep in over longer than specified time period, because it was still too moist. Bars were fantastic though! And I don't like raisins. ;-)
