Ingredients

  • 2 12 cups oats (not instant oatmeal)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup dried cherries, chopped
  • 1 cup seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, flax, I use a mix)
  • 1 cup raw peanuts
  • 1 (14 ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk

Method

  • Heat oven to 250 F and use a non-stick cooking spray to prepare an 9x13 or 8x10 pan.
  • I prefer the 8x10 since it makes thicker bars, but use what you've got.
  • Make sure to get the sides, too.
  • Heat the milk on the stove till warm.
  • Combine the oats, seeds, nuts, fruit and coconut in a large bowl.
  • Pour the milk over the oat mixture and use a spatula to mix it all together.
  • It will be pretty thick.
  • Press the mixture into the pan and bake for 1 hour.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes Slice into bars.
  • I like to let the bars cool on wax paper.
  • Make sure they are totally cooled before storing.
