Granola


Serves: 12
Total Calories: 238

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups oatmeal quick-cooking
1 cup coconut shredded
1/3 cup sunflower seed untoasted
1/4 cup sesame seeds hulled
4 tablespoons margarine
1/4 cup brown sugar dark, packed
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup wheat germ toasted
1/2 cup raisins

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 300F.

Spread the oatmeal, coconut, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds in a large, lightly buttered roasting pan or ovenproof dish (about 11x17 inches is best, although a smaller pan will do). Bake for about 20 minutes, tossing several times.

Meanwhile, combine in a small saucepan the margarine, brown sugar, honey and salt and bring to a simmer, stirring. Add the vanilla off the heat.

Reset the oven to 350 F. then add the wheat germ to the toasted mixture. Dribble the sugar-honey mixture syrup over the granola, tossing with a fork to coat the dry mixture evenly.

Return the pan to the oven and bake for 5-6 minutes longer. Add the raisins, toss to distribute, and press the granola down firmly into an even layer. Bake 5 minutes or so longer, or until the granola is golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slip a flexible spatula under the granola to break in to large pieces. Let cool completely and store airtight.

Makes 6 cups.
