1/4 c vegetable oil
1/2 t almond extract (or vainilla extract)
1/2 c honey
1/2 c peanut butter (smooth)

stir in:
6 c old-fashioned oats

spread this on a couple of baking tray, dont heap it too thick.

bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

with ten minutes left, add:
1/2 c somewhat chopped almonds

after baking is done add:
1/2 c raisins

let it cool- dont store it while its hot.

eat it for breakfast 10 days in a row and then it is gone.
