Homemade Granola

Ingredients

• 6 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup wheat germ
• 1 cup coconut flakes
• 1 cup almonds, chopped
• 1 cup pecans, chopped
• 1 cup sunflower seed
• 1 tablespoon sesame seed
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup honey
• 2 cups raisins or currants or dried cranberries or carob chips

Directions

1. 1

   Measure oats, wheat germ, coconut, nuts, seeds and spices into large mixing bowl; mix lightly (it likes to jump out of the bowl).

2. 2

   Melt butter in microwave and combine with honey.

3. 3

   Pour honey mixture over oat mixture; mix well.

4. 4

   Spread granola evenly over 3 jelly roll pans (large cookie sheets with 1 inch sides).

5. 5

   Bake at 300 degrees about 20 minutes, until golden brown, stirring after 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Cool about 10 minutes before removing from pans into a large bowl to complete cooling. (If you leave it in the pans to cool, it can clump and stick.) Mix in dried fruit. Store in airtight containers.
