Granola

Recipe by Brendy

This recipe calls for lots of ingredients. As some of these items might be hard to find at times, you can consider all the items below the vanilla as optional. Make up the volume of what you don't have with extra rolled oats. However, it is much better with everything. This recipe can stand lots of substitutions.

	10 cups rolled oats
	1 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
	1 1/2 cup water
	1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
	1/2 cup honey
	1 1/2 teaspoon salt
	2 teaspoons cinnamon
	3 teaspoons vanilla
	1 cup wheat germ
	1/2 lb. shredded coconut
	2 cups raw sunflower seed
	1 cup sesame seeds
	3 cups chopped almonds, pecans, walnuts or a combination of all of them.
	1/2 cup molasses (If you are going to sub. here, add same amount of sugar or honey.)
	Raisins, if desired

Mix dry ingredients. In another pan combine the brown sugar, water, oil, honey, molasses, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Heat until sugar is dissolved but do not boil. Pour syrup over the dry ingredients and stir until well coated. Place in pans or sheets. Bake 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Bake 15 minutes longer if you want it crunchier. This keeps 6 months. Makes 20 cups.
