Heat until all mixed together and pour over dry mixture. Spray down cookie sheet or casserole dish.  Bake on 275 for 30 mins mixing in between! If cooking on a casserole dish it might take up to 45 mins.

It makes a ton, and last us about 2 weeks.  We eat it with milk, just like cereal, or with bananas and blueberries on top or we mix it in with our yogurt!  I store it in the large container in my pantry or in one of the cereal canisters.  

Happy Eating!
