Mom's Best Granola INGREDIENTS:

  • 7 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup wheat germ
  • 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
  • 1/2 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 1 cup chopped almonds
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mom's Best Granola DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, wheat germ, coconut, sunflower seeds and almonds. In a separate bowl, mix together the oil, honey, boiling water, brown sugar, salt and vanilla. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until evenly coated. Spread in a thin layer on a large baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 60 to 90 minutes in the preheated oven. Stir every 30 minutes, until lightly toasted and fragrant. Granola will crisp up more when cooled.
