I added 1/2 cup of sunflower seeds, and a scant 1/4 cup of chopped pecans. I used 1 tsp ground cinnamon and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. I also used 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp almond extract. For the dried fruit, I used jumbo assorted raisins.
Next time I think I will add some whole almonds and more coconut.

2 cups old-fashioned oats (quick cookingones work too but rolled oats are better)

Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla or almond extract. Pour over oat mixture and toss to coat (I always use my hands.) Bake at 275 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes or until golden brown, stirring every 10 minutes. Cook, stirring occasionally. When cooled, add mixed fruit.
Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 4 1/2 cups
