"I love granola, but I don't like all of the blends that are out there. So, I put several together and I have all the things in it that I like. This is one delicious recipe. Just the right taste, I think. NOTE: If you like, any dried fruit may be added to your bowl just before eating."

ingredients

10 cups rolled oats
12 ounces wheat germ
¹⁄₂ cup whole wheat flour
2 cups shredded coconut
2 cups sunflower seeds
¹⁄₂ cup sesame seeds
2 cups chopped walnuts
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups safflower oil
³⁄₄ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla, mixed with
2 tablespoons water
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
³⁄₄ cup honey

directions

In a huge bowl mix first 8 ingredients, stirring till all are combined; (I use a huge stainless steel bowl and then leave it in that to bake the granola).
Add the oil, brown sugar, vanilla mixed with 2 tablespoons of water and salt.
Warm the honey in the microwave so that it will be thin and mix better.
Mix very well.
Put onto a huge baking sheet or leave in the stainless bowl.
If you do this, push the granola up the sides so all areas are exposed.
Bake 300 degrees for 1 hour, mixing every 10 minutes.
Keep an eye on it so that it doesn't brown too much in the last 10 minutes, depending on your oven.
Dump it out on paper towels or a large brown paper bag and cool.
Put in large container and keep in refrigerator because of the oil.
DELICIOUS!

John 3:3 Psalm 91 We are born-again Christians and love the Lord Jesus Christ with all our being.? We attend a small Christian and Missionary Alliance church in our town.? <a href=http://www.cmalliance.org>http://www.cmalliance.org</a> My family consists of my husband who was a microbiologist but is now retired, two children (daughter and son), four grandchildren, and soon to be two great grandchildren, a girl and a boy. I homeschooled my oldest granddaughter up to a senior in high school. She is now 29 years old. My oldest grandson, who is now 25; my youngest grandson, age 20; my youngest granddaughter is in seventh-grade. Our oldest granddaughter blessed us with our first great granddaughter and soon to be great grandson.? She is the cutest little one.? I love them all. Hosta is my favorite plant, the only plant I own. I now have 123 varieties and they all have names. I add to them each year. I love to do cross stitch, paint, scrapbook, and rubber stamping. I have a rare genetic lung disase called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (Type ZZ) that most people have not even heard about. Most doctors may have heard of it but don't know an awful lot about it and so many times it goes misdiagnosed.
