This stuff is addicting! I don't remember where I got the recipe, but I have been making this since I was a teenager. The measurements for the oats and coconut are just guidelines; you can adjust it to your liking or what you have on hand. Let me know how you like it. 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:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together the ingredients for Oat Mixture.
2. In a small to medium bowl, separately mix together the first 4 ingredients for Oil Mixture.
3. Add Oil Mixture (not the honey yet) to the Oat Mixture; blend well.
4. Then add in the honey. Mix well.
5. Spread thinly and evenly on cookie sheets (for ease of preparation, use rimmed cookie sheets).
6. Bake at 325 d F for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden (stir every 12-15 minutes).
7. After baking, remove from oven and let granola cool on cookie sheets.
8. Remove granola from cooled pans and it's ready to eat, or store covered for about 2 weeks.
9. Makes a nice food gift.
10. Yield is approximate & depends on amounts used.
