COSTCO CLONE GRANOLA

Costco Clone Granola image

I tried Costco's granola the other day, and is it EVER good! Now, I'm not saying this recipe is an exact clone of Costco's, but it's the best I found. Add or subtract ingredients according to your taste - you can use less sugar if you like, increase the amount of wheat germ, add flax seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, other dried fruit or nuts - it's perfect for experimenting.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1 cup nuts (i.e. sunflower seeds, walnuts, almonds, pecans)
1 cup dried fruit, chopped (dried cranberries, blueberries, raisins, apricots, etc.)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey, plus
1/4 cup maple syrup or 1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Mix granola ingredients in a large bowl.
For coating, heat oil, honey, and maple syrup to a rolling boil. Turn off heat and add vanilla. Pour over granola mixture and blend well. Spread on a baking sheet.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes, stirring the granola every 5 minutes while baking to ensure even browning. Watch it closely as it can burn fast. For softer granola do not bake as long.
