Oats and Fruit Granola


Oats and Fruit Granola
    Ingredients:
    3 lbs Oats 
    2 package (20 oz) Blueberries, frozen (unsweetened) 
    2 package (20 oz) Strawberries, frozen, unsweetened 
    4 cup Oat Bran 
    2 cups Splenda*


Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees

Spray Pan (turkey-roaster sized) with non-stick cooking spray. Add oats, berries and oat bran. Cover with Splenda to the amount of sweetness desired. It's not supposed to taste sweet; I usually only use 1 cup, but everyone else in the family likes it sweeter.

Place in oven. Set timer to 1 hour. At 1 hour, mix the cereals. Place back in overn. Set timer to 1 hour. Do this a total of 3 hours. I've let it go another 1/2 hour until it sends out a rich, delicious smell. But then the oven must be turned off. Remove from oven or leave in. If you leave it in the oven, don't just forget it! When cool, I put it in a 2 gallon zip-type bag and put it away in freezer.

Makes 40 1/2 cup servings.
