My mom makes the best granola in the entire world. Every time we go home, for as long as I can remember, she makes it for us just because she loves us. It only took me about 6 years to figure out that I could make it myself. Since then, it has become a familiar friend at our home. You can add flax seed, wheat germ, raisins, almonds, dried fruit, anything you like. As my mom was making (a second batch) this weekend, we decided it would be fun to add craisins. Next time I'll try it... Yum!
Mom's Granola
5 cups uncooked oats
1 cup coconut
1 cup cashews
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Spread oats on an ungreased cookie sheet. Heat 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Combine oats, coconut, cashews, salt, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Stir in honey, oil, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until dry ingredients are well coated. Spoon onto cookie sheet, bake 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees, stirring every 10 minutes. It cools as a solid mass, but comes apart easily. Store it in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
