Ingredients
  • 8 cups REGULAR OATMEAL (not quick oats)
  • 3 cups SHREDDED COCONUT
  • ½ cup HONEY
  • ½ cup BROWN SUGAR
  • 1 cup BUTTER
  • 4 teaspoons GROUND CINNAMON
  • 2 Tablespoons VANILLA EXTRACT
  • Pinch of SALT
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 2 rimmed baking sheets by spraying them lightly with cooking spray or lining with parchment or a Silpat baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together oats and coconut.
  3. Melt butter in the microwave. Add remaining ingredients to the butter and stir well. Pour over oats and coconut and mix to coat everything.
  4. Divide mixture between the baking sheets.
