Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 275 F or 140 C. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, fresh ground nutmeg, and extracts. Stir with spoon until smooth.
- 2. Add chopped pecans and let stand for 20 minutes for the nuts to soak up the sugar and extracts.
- 3. Add 4 cups steel cut or uncooked oatmeal. (Do not use quick cook oatmeal or else it will dissolve into the wet ingredients.) Stir well and let stand another 5 minutes for the oats to soak up the butter, sugar, and flavors.
- 4. Add coconut and stir lightly until incorporated. Don't over-stir to avoid discoloring the coconut. (It will toast to a pretty golden brown.)
- 5. Divide mixture in half and spread onto two cookie pans lined with parchment paper. Cook for 45 minutes, tossing halfway through.
- 6. Let cool (or not - this tastes amazing gooey hot over ice cream). Toss and store in sealed container.
