LARGE BATCH

Below is the way I make it for my family. It makes a huge amount, but it keeps nicely and goes quickly if you have a large family eating it rather frequently.

1 jar wheat germ (20 oz.)
1 bag coconut (14 oz.)

1 lb. pecans, apprx. 2-3 C. (1/2 Costco-sized bag)
2 T. cinnamon
1-2 C. sliced almonds

Combine above dry ingredients. Add combined wet ingredients (see below) and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes to prevent burning.

Wet ingredients:
2 C. light olive oil
1 C. honey
1/2 C. molasses
2 Tbsp. vanilla
