Description

This is a great recipe for homemade granola. I make it weekly! Any dried fruit can be substituted for the raisins. I use dried cranberries in mine and it's fantastic!

Ingredients

• 5 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup flaked coconut
• 1 cup wheat germ
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Steps

1. 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. 2. Mix oats, brown sugar, coconut, wheat germ, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Stir water, oil, and vanilla extract into the oat mixture; spread onto a baking sheet.
3. 3. Bake in preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, until golden brown and crunchy, about 1 hour; transfer to a bowl. Stir raisins and almonds through the granola.
