Original recipe (1X) yields 120 servings

  • 6 cups rolled oats

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • 1 pound shortening

  • 1 ½ cups shredded coconut

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. In a large bowl combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With a pastry blender cut in shortening until crumbly. Stir in raisins, coconut, chocolate chips and pecans.

  2. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 10 weeks.
