Directions

Combine rolled oats, coconut, salt, wheat germ and brown sugar. Also can mix optional ingredients of sunflower seeds, chopped nuts and sesame seed.

Mix and add to this mixture oil, water and vanilla; mix until smooth. Place in ungreased pan (large roasting pan, etc., so you can stir it periodically). Bake at 225 degrees until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 hours. Leave oven door open a crack to let moisture out. In saucepan, heat 2 cubes margarine and 1 pound marshmallows until melted. Add honey and peanut butter. When melted (I usually do in double boiler), pour over granola mix and pour into 9 x 12-inch greased pan. Cool and cut into squares. Good for hiking and camping snacks. Also add chocolate or butterscotch chips for a different flavor.
