   I have made my own before - toasted rolled oats - mix in rolled oats, some honey and some oil or butter.  Put in the oven and toast until nice and golden - then add dried fruit, seeds - (toasted pumpkin seeds are soooo yummy), and whatever.  the edmonds cook book has a recipe I think

   When I used to go to a dietician, she couldn't fault this recipe (without the coconut for me though).  I love it with yoghurt and fresh or canned fruit.
 
 8C rolled oats
 3C cooking bran
 2C wheatgerm
 1C coconut
 3/4C brown sugar (or less depending on how sweet you like)
 2tsp cinnamon
 2TBS each sunflower and sesame seeds
 3/4C sultanas (I also use chopped dried dates and apricots).
 
 I cook x2 in a roasting dish, medium oven for half an hour.  Make sure you stir well once during cooking otherwise the sultanas on the top burn and the sides go a bit brown and the sugar tends to clump. Stores fantastically.
 
 Another thing I love is poached couscous.  Basically just add heaps of milk to couscous, and slowly poach it on the stove until most of the milk is absorbed (it will continue to do so when taken off the heat).  It is delicious with cinnamon added when cooking, then served with natural yoghurt and fruit (fruit compote is delicious and you can put heaps of presoaked different dried fruits for variety).
