This was my DH's Aunt Alice's recipe. She was a heath food advocate. This may be healthy...BUT it is also delicious! She's passed on to her reward with the Lord and I don't want to lose this recipe. I'm therefore posting it here not only so I will have it but also so others can enjoy it also. Although purchasing some of these ingredients are a bit pricey...it is still not only better than the manufactured packaged product but much cheaper. You may have to go to a health food store to get some of these dry ingredients. There are no other Granola recipes at Recipezaar with this combination of ingredients. NOTE***I have listed Barley flakes as Flakes Barley because that was the only way Recipezaar would accept it. For some reason their computer doesn't recognize that there is a product called Barley Flakes. Ingredients:
1/4 cup olives or 1/4 cup canola oil |
1/2 cup honey |
1 tablespoon vanilla |
1/4 cup peanut butter (optional) |
5 cups old fashioned oats |
1 cup wheat flakes |
1 cup rye flakes |
1 cup flakes barley |
1 cup sunflower seeds |
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds |
1/2 cup pecans or 1/2 cup slivered almonds |
1/4 cup flaked coconut |
1/2 cup roasted soybeans |
1/2 cup wheat germ |
dried fruits such as raisins, dates, cranberries, etc...after baking |
Directions:
1. Mix oil, honey, vanilla, and peanut butter together.
2. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, (flakes, seeds, nuts, coconut, & wheat germ).
3. Mix well until evenly coated.
4. Pour mixture onto 2 large greased cookie sheets.
5. Bake 250 degrees for 30 minutes.
6. Stir well and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown.
7. After baking mix in your choice of desired dried fruits.
8. DO NOT BAKE with the fruits in the mixture or you will think you put rocks in your granola.
