Hearty Homemade Granola


We got this recipe from a friend years ago and love it! The boys will eat it too. It is great for using up oats in your food storage. I have found that I can buy my wheat germ and nuts in bulk for a cheaper price at The Good Earth than at a regular old grocery store. I store them in my freezer to keep them fresh.

4 c. oats
1 c. wheat germ
1 c. sliced almonds or walnuts
1/2 c. raw sunflower seeds
1 c. shredded coconut
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. salt
1/3 c. vegetable oil
1/3 c. honey
1/3 c. water
craisins or any other dried fruit

Heat oven to 275
Mix in large bowl oats, wheat germ, nuts, coconut, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add oil, honey and water. Blend well. Spread evenly onto a cookie sheet.
Bake for 45-50 min. or until lightly browned, stirring once during baking. Let cool, then stir in craisins and store in air tight container. Makes about 7 cups.

  1. Hey, I hadn't been here for a while and WOW! It really is the best of the best! I will definitely be doing some copying and pasting. Thanks so much for sharing. I always wanted a copy of that brownie recipe. The other ones are great too!
