Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the quick-cooking rolled oats, unsweetened wheat germ, and flaked coconut until evenly distributed.
  3. Spread the mixture in a thin, even layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, stirring gently every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
  5. Remove from oven when the cereal is golden brown and fragrant. Allow to cool completely on the pan.
  6. Once cooled, break up any large clusters with your hands. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
