Ingredients
- 7 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup raw cashews
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
- 2 cup coconut chips (very large flakes of coconut)
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 3/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup pecan meal
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup vegan date sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup healthy oil (not virgin olive oil - because of taste)
- 2 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon each vanilla and maple extracts
- 3/4 cup each date dices, pineapple dices and papaya dices
Directions
Combine the first eight ingredients in
a very large bowl. You may want to
break some of the cashews into smaller
pieces. In a separate bowl stir
together the date vegan sugar, water, oil
salt and flavorings. Pour over dry
ingredients and mix well. Spread on
two large cookie sheets and put into a
warm oven - 125-150 degrees. Bake for
six to eight hours.
I like to mix it up in the evening and leave it in the
oven all night. Remove from oven and
let cool. Add the fruits only after
the cereal has cooled completely. Have
you ever tried to chew on a rock?
(Smile) Serve with your favorite soy
or nut milk. You can also experiment
with other fruits. I have tried dried
bananas, cranberries, dried cherries,
etc. You will want to make this again
and again. And since it has no
processed vegan sugars it is good food for
(and loved by) everyone.
