Cierpoux
This is the best, easiest granola you can make (and a lot cheaper than what you buy at the store). Change the ingredients for something a little different. You can add dates or raisins or dried fruit after you bake it.
Heat oven to 350. Use the largest roasting pan you can find, the more room, the more evenly it will toast. Mix in the roasting pan:
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup honey (molasses okay, maple syrup is too delicate for the expense)
Heat about 5-7 minutes until hot and honey bubbles. In a separate bowl combine:
- 4 cups oatmeal
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup wheatgerm
- 2 Tablespoon sesame seed
- 1 cup nuts (pecan, almond, walnut, cashew)
- 1/2 cup flaxseed
Mix into honey mixture. Bake for 30-40 minutes until toasted. Stir every 10 minutes or so. Let cool before storing in airtight container.
For celiac/wheat free version, substitute puffed rice cereal for oatmeal, eliminate wheat germ.
Try added coconut flakes, cinnamon, grated orange peel.
