Granola - Yummy!

Here is a homemade Granola Recipe.
It's from a friend at church.

Granola by Barb

6 cups old fashion oats

3/4 cup wheat germ

1/2 cup coconut

i blend mine in the chopper a few times so my family doesn't know it's in there :-)

1/4 cup sesame seeds

i have made with and without - sometimes i throw these in with coconut to chop to release a different flavor

1 cup chopped nuts

 i have used all kinds - peanuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, almonds, again i chop these fine - you can leave them in bigger chunks if you like

1/2 cup nonfat dry milk

2/3 cup honey

2/3 cup oil

2 tablespoons water

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

In a large bowl combine oats, wheat germ, coconut, sesame seeds, nuts, and dry milk.
Combine honey, oil, water and vanilla.
Add liquid mixture to dry mixture and stir well.
Turn into large shallow baking pan.
Bake 325 for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
Stir several times while cooking.
When cool, you can add dried fruit or chips. - I have used raisins, dried cranberries, dried blueberries, banana chips, and mini-chocolate chips at various times.  Sometimes I combine; sometimes they stand alone.
Store in airtight container.
