I make this granola at least every 4 weeks. It's great in cereal, cottage cheese, or as a topping on anything you like!
1/2 c. wheat germ
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 c. sesame seeds
1 1/2 c. chopped almonds, walnuts, pecans, or combination
3/4 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 c. water
3/4 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. molasses
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Add raisins or other dried fruits, if desired.
Preheat oven to 300. In a large bowl, combine oats, wheat germ, coconut, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and nuts. Blend well.
In a large saucepan (or glass bowl for microwave) combine brown sugar, water, oil, honey, molasses, cinnamon, and vanilla. Heat until sugar is dissolved, but do not boil. Pour syrup over dry ingredients and stir until well coated.
Spread into at least two 9 x 13 inch pans or cookie sheets with sides. Bake 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Bake 10 minutes longer for crunchier texture. Spread it all out on a sheet of wax or parchment paper to cool. When cool, put into airtight containers. Label. Use within 6 months. Use in cereal, oatmeal, cookie mixes, or for a snack.
