This stuff is addicting! I don't remember where I got the recipe, but I have been making this since I was a teenager. The measurements for the oats and coconut are just guidelines; you can adjust it to your liking or what you have on hand. Let me know how you like it.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -8 cups oats
2 cups wheat germ
1 1/2 cups unsalted nuts (sunflower, almonds, cashews)
1 -1 1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/4 cup sesame seeds (optional)
1 cup raisins
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup honey (I use clover honey)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together the ingredients for Oat Mixture.
  • In a small to medium bowl, separately mix together the first 4 ingredients for Oil Mixture.
  • Add Oil Mixture (not the honey yet) to the Oat Mixture; blend well.
  • Then add in the honey. Mix well.
  • Spread thinly and evenly on cookie sheets (for ease of preparation, use rimmed cookie sheets).
  • Bake at 325 d F for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden (stir @ every 12-15 minutes).
  • After baking, remove from oven and let granola cool on cookie sheets.
  • Remove granola from cooled pans and it's ready to eat, or store covered for about 2 weeks.
  • Makes a nice food gift.
  • Yield is approximate & depends on amounts used.
