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.

SERVES 12 , 6 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Granola

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.)

Coating

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey, plus
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 325°F.

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.

Wonderful stuff here Kat. I took your advice about experimenting as I've made quite a few granola recipes and kinda know what I like. I used 5 cups of oats, 1/4 cup wheat germ, 1/4 cup flax meal, omitted the coconut, and chopped up 1 cup of raw almonds. For the fruit and I did 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup craisins. I didn't add the fruit until after removing the cookie sheet from the oven. (otherwise they harden). I also baked mine for about 30 minutes. A wonderful recipe that will definitely be a repeat. Made for HolidayTag.
