In a large mixing bowl, combine the quick oats, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, cornmeal, ground flax seeds, hemp seeds, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are fully mixed together.

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, and stir until everything is well coated and evenly mixed.
