Ingredients

7 cups rolled oats
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
½ cup unsalted sunflower seeds
½ cup sesame seeds
1 cup chopped almonds
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup honey
½ cup boiling water
¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, wheat germ, coconut, sunflower seeds and almonds. In a separate bowl, mix together the oil, honey, boiling water, brown sugar, salt and vanilla. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until evenly coated. Spread in a thin layer on a large baking sheet.
Bake for 60 to 90 minutes in the preheated oven. Stir every 30 minutes, until lightly toasted and fragrant. Granola will crisp up more when cooled.
