Note

For added sweetness and binding, you may mix 1/2 cup of vegetable oil with 1 to 2 cups of honey or another sweetener before tossing with the grains. Adjust sweetness to taste.

You can add 1 cup of coconut, sunflower seeds, peanuts, or sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor.

Watch closely during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning, especially if using honey.
