Oatmeal

If any of you are in the cholesterol watching category...I have a new and delicious way to eat your daily dose of oatmeal! If you dont HAVE to eat it every day..its even better! For years I searched for a cold cereal recipe I could make in quantity for my day care....I went thru tons of it a week!! Never found anything untill now...in an old Amish cookbook...and it is wonderful!! Thought I would share it with you...can be used as a snack or as a topping for yogurt or ice cream too...... Amish Cereal...5cups QUICK oatmeal....1 cup brown sugar...1/2 to 2/3 cup light corn syrup......1 cup wheat germ.....1 cup raisins or coconut or both or use your imagination.....1/4 teaspoon cinnamon....2 teaspoons vanilla....1/2 teaspoon salt....mix all dry ingrediants together....add corn syrup and vanilla mix well...pour into shallow pans....toast at 200* untill golden brown about 20-30 minutes....serve warm or cold with milk...store in tight container.....you can use less or more of anything...very forgiving....I use less sweet stuff but then its very crumbly!...and no salt! Try it!!!
