Gingersnap Granola Recipe

Directions:

1. In large bowl, combine oats, wheat germ, salt and nuts.
2. In small saucepan, combine 1/4cup water, honey and oil and cook to boiling. Add lime zest and vanilla, reduce heat and simmer about 3 minutes.
3. Carefully pour over oat mixture, reserving about 1/3 of the honey mixture.
4. Toss to coat.
5. Run hands under cool water and, with wet hands, pick up handfuls of mixture and lightly press together and carefully drop on sprayed cookie sheet.
6. Continue with remaining mixture. This technique will create the tasty granola clumps in the finished mix. If you don't want those, just dump the oat mixture on the sheet. :)
7. Keep bowl handy :)
8. Bake at 250 for about 30 minutes, carefully stirring after 15.
9. Remove sheet from oven, let cool a couple minutes til able to handle and carefully put back into original bowl.
10. Add raisins/cranberries, coconut and remaining honey mixture and water and toss to mix.
11. Once again, with wet hands, drop handfuls of mixture back to cookie sheet, as above.
12. Continue to bake about 15 minutes more, until fruits start to plump and granola is golden brown.
