1 cup wheat germ
2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup sesame seeds
3 cups chopped nuts, one or more kinds
(sliced almonds, pecans, walnuts)
1-1/2 cups honey
1-1/2 cups water
1-1/2 cups oil
1/2 to 3/4 cup molasses
1-1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
3 tsp. vanilla flv.
1 tsp almond flv.
1 tsp. maple flv.
Combine dry ingredients (except spices and salt). Combine wet ingredients, heat well for better mixing.
Pour over dry, mix well. Spread into several 13x9 baking pans. Bake at 300E for 30 minutes to start
with. Stir and check crunchiness. Bake to your desire. HINT: As granola cools, it gets crunchier.
Avoid over baking. Feel free to substitute any other ingredients, just keep the total number of dry
ingredients the same, for example--instead of 12 cups of oatmeal, you might put in 10, and add 2 cups of
sunflower seeds...
Optional ingredients:
* wheat germ, or bran
* sunflower seeds
* corn meal
* wheat flour
* dry fruits (added after granola cools slightly)
