One of my old pp friends gave me this recipe many years ago and it's still a staple in my household.

1 cup tvp granules
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 unsweet coconut
1/2 cup rolled oats
4 pkg splenda
2 TBL sugarfree maple syrup
2 TBL vegetable oil
small pinch of salt

In a large bowl combine dry ingredients. In seperate bowl, mix together syrup, oil and salt. Combine both mixtures and mix well with hands. Pour onto sheet pans and bake ~ 250 for about 45 minutes stirring about every 15 minutes.

Makes 6 1/2 cup servings

My kids and I have had so much fun coming up with new flavors! Banana extract and sub pecans or walnut for almonds make something that is very similar to banana nut crunch cereal.

Maple and orange extract are also favorites. The kid batches get special treats like freeze dried fruit bits and sometimes a chocolate drizzle over the final cooked product.

I have never tried it without the oats but I'm sure you could just adjust the other ingredients and leave it out if you had to. Anyways, great stuff! The only thing I would suggest is don't let it sit in milk for too long cause it gets soggy fast.
