Trail Mix - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 cups oats (I use rolled oats)
    1 1/2 cups wheat bran or 1 1/2 cups oat bran
    1 cup powdered milk
    1 cup chopped pecans or 1 cup walnuts
    1/2 cup sesame seeds
    1/2 cup hulled sunflower seeds (I omit this and use 1 cup sesame seeds)
    1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
    1/2 cup slivered almonds
    1 cup honey
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    1/2 cup raisins
    1/2 cup chopped dried apricot (I omit this and use 1 cup raisins)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 300\u00b0F.
    In a large mixing bowl, stir together oats, wheat bran, milk powder, pecans, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut and almonds.
    In a 2-cup measure, stir together honey and oil until blended; pour over dry ingredients.
    Using two spoons, toss and stir to combine well.
    Turn onto lightly greased baking sheets; spreading evenly.
    Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until golden brown, stirring every 10 minutes.
    Immediately, turn into large bowl; stir in raisins and apricots.
    Cool completely.
    Store in an airtight container.
    You can also use this as muesli or granola and top with milk for breakfast.
