I love homemade granola-I discovered it this spring when I found about 10 recipes for granola on the internet. This is my favorite conglomeration. Sometimes I add some sesame oil too, either in addition to or in place of the vegetable oil. Enjoy! Ingredients:
4 cups oats |
1 cup wheat germ |
1 cup chopped walnuts or 1 cup slivered almonds |
1/2 cup sesame seeds |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup vegetable oil |
1/3 cup honey |
1/3 cup water |
1 (6 ounce) package dried sweetened cranberries (blueberries are good) or 1 (6 ounce) package other dried fruit (blueberries are good) |
Directions:
1. Heat the oven to 300 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, wheat germ, nuts, sesame seeds, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
3. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the oil, honey and water.
4. Toss until well combined.
5. Spread the mixture evenly on a cookie sheet.
6. Bake for 40 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring every 10 minutes to keep the mixture from sticking.
7. Let it cool, then stir in the fruit.
8. Store in an airtight container.
9. Makes about 7 cups.
