Betsy’s Excellent Granola

Betsy’s Excellent Granola

• 5 Cups Rolled Oats
• 1 Cup Bran
• 1 Cup Wheat Germ
• 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 Cup Sunflower Seeds (unsalted or raw)
• 1 Cup Chopped Almonds or Pecans
• 1 1/2 t Salt

Mix all of these ingredients together in a large baking pan.

I like to use a large disposable roaster.  Spray this with Pam.

Then mix the following ingredients together and heat in the microwave.

• 1 Cup Canola Oil
• 3/4 Cup Honey
• Add 3 t Vanilla

Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients.  Mix thoroughly and bake at 275 degrees for one hour, stirring every fifteen minutes.

The last fifteen minutes add the following ingredients.

• 1/2 Cup Coconut
• 1 Cup Dried Fruit (cranberries, apricots or dates)

Let cool one hour and break into pieces.

Enjoy!
