Makes 7 cups

2 1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup Nu-World Foods Amaranth flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup grated unsweetened coconut
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cup peanuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
3/4 cup raisins or other dried fruit (optional)

In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, walnuts, coconut, sunflower seeds, peanuts and cinnamon.
