10 cups oats

1 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup sesame seeds
3 cups chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts)

Stir together in very big bowl or stock pot.
In medium pot, stir together remaining ingredients stirring over med heat. Do not boil! When everything is dissolved and warmed, pour syrup over the oat mixture and stir until well coated.

1 1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup molasses

Spread over 3-4 jelly roll pans or cookie sheets and bake at 300 for about 20 min. Stir occasionally. Cool and add raisins or dried fruit if desired. Totally enjoy!
