honey coconut granola (my mom's recipe)

Yield: ~12 cups

Ingredients:
5 C. rolled oats (I use gluten free rolled oats)
3 C. shredded coconut
1 C. coarsely chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds
1 C. wheat germ (I sub in flax seed)
1/2 C. sesame seeds
1/2 C. sunflower seeds
3/4 C honey
1/2 C. vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 C. craisins or raisins. Fresh berries work, too.

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  • In large bowl, combine dry ingredients. 
  • Heat honey, oil, and vanilla in microwave or small saucepan. 
  • Pour over dry ingredients, stirring to coat well. 
  • Spread mixture no more than 1/2 inch deep in shallow baking pan(s). 
  • Bake until lightly browned, about 25 - 30 minutes. 
  • Stir every 10 minutes to avoid overbrowning. 
  • Cool and store in tightly covered container.
