Granola

Laugh at me all you want but I like granola...especially this recipe. It's healthy and tasty. My kids and hubby agree, too!

Granola

from Kathy Burton

8 cups regular rolled oats
3 cups Grape Nuts
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1 (10 oz) pkg shredded coconut

Combine together in a large bowl.
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oil
3/4 cup honey
2 tsp vanilla

Raisins (optional)

In a saucepan, bring sugar, oil and honey to a boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour in bowl with oatmeal mixture and stir to evenly coat. Place onto 2 sheet cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until coconut is lightly browned. Remove pans from oven and pour onto counter to cool. Add raisins. Store granola in air tight containers.

**Besides eating this granola in a bowl with milk, my family also loves yogurt parfaits (layer frozen berries/vanilla yogurt/granola) or just sprinkle granola onto any flavor of yogurt and we also love to eat it plain!
