ingredients

DRY INGREDIENTS
- 8 cups old fashioned oats
- 1⁄2 cup toasted wheat germ
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
- 2 cups sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
-
LIQUID INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup unsalted butter or 1 cup margarine
-
INGREDIENTS TO ADD AFTER BAKING
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup raisins or 1 cup dried cranberries
directions
- Heat oven to 300 degrees. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment.
- In a very large bowl (or 2 large bowls), toss together dry ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together liquid ingredients. Combine dry ingredients and liquid ingredients and stir well.
- Spread mixture onto 2 baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cool only 10 to 20 minutes, until possible to touch with hands. If cool too long, it sticks to the paper and becomes hard.
- While granola cools, toast coconut. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees. Spread coconut on top of one baking sheet. Bake 3 to 5 minutes until toasted light brown. Transfer immediately to a large flat plate to cool.
- When granola is cool enough to handle, place granola, coconut and dried fruit in a very large bowl, break-up and blend with your hands. Finish cooling before storing in an airtight container.
