I'm really picky when it comes to granola, I don't like the store kind to much sugar and not fresh . and I don't like rassins and other things they add. So for a while I've compiled a list of ingredience that I do like and put together this recipe. My family loves it and most importantly I love it. It's quick, easy and a healthy snack.
Ingredients
Makes 2 quarts
1 pound rolled oats
1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut (or sweetened, if you prefer)
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup safflower oil
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup dried cranberries, blueberries, or other dried chopped fruit
Directions
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
In a large bowl, toss together the oats, coconut, almonds, sesame seeds, wheat germ, and salt. Separately whisk together the oil, honey, water, and vanilla; stir it into the oat mixture.
Spread the granola on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until golden brown. Stir after 10 minutes and again after 30 more minutes. Remove from the oven and toss with the raisins and cranberries. Cool completely and store in an airtight container. Serve with sliced bananas or berries and milk or plain yogurt.
