Holly's Barb's Granola

Holly’s Barb’s Granola

This is not barb’s granola. Hers is EXELLENT, but somewhere along the way I lost the paper copy of the recipe (overzealous spouse cleaning the kitchen, I suspect). This is what I REMEMBER of barb’s recipe with a couple of my own additions….

Preheat oven to 300 degrees

¼ cup canola oil

½ cup honey

3 Tbsp molasses

1 tsp vanilla

couple shakes cinnamon

whisk these together in a pan set on a medium low heat till blended.

3 cups oatmeal

1 cup unsweetened coconut

1 cup oat bran

1 cup pumpkin seeds

¾ cup sesame seeds

¾  cup golden flax seeds

¾  cup  sunflower seeds

1 cup raw nuts (almond or walnut or cashew or whatever)

mix these together and then mix in the warm oil/honey mixture. Spread in big roasting pan and bake for 45 minutes (the original recipe said 1 hour, but that was too long for my oven), stirring every 15 minutes. When cool, sprinkle in a cup or 2 of dried fruit.
