Ingredients:
4 -8 cups oats
2 cups wheat germ
1 1/2 cups unsalted nuts ( sunflower, almonds, cashews)
1 -1 1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/4 cup sesame seeds (optional)
1 cup raisins
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup honey ( I use clover honey)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together the ingredients for Oat Mixture.
In a small to medium bowl, separately mix together the first 4 ingredients for Oil Mixture.
Add Oil Mixture (not the honey yet) to the Oat Mixture; blend well.
Then add in the honey. Mix well.
Spread thinly and evenly on cookie sheets (for ease of preparation, use rimmed cookie sheets).
Bake at 325 d F for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden (stir @ every 12-15 minutes).
After baking, remove from oven and let granola cool on cookie sheets.
Remove granola from cooled pans and it’s ready to eat, or store covered for about 2 weeks.
Makes a nice food gift.
