Granola
Makes about 14 cups
Ingredients:
* 8 cups rolled oats
* 1 1/2 cups wheat germ
* 1 1/2 cups millet
* 1 cups slivered almonds
* 1 cup finely chopped pecans
* 1 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
* 1 cup sunflower seeds
* 1 T. cinnamon
* 1 1/2 t. salt
* 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
* 1 cup maple syrup or raw honey
* 1 cup coconut oil
* 2 t. vanilla
* 2 cups dried cranberries or whatever dried fruit you want
Preparation:
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, wheat germ, millet, almonds, pecans, shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, cinnamon and salt. In another small mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, maple syrup, oil and vanilla until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing to evenly distribute. Spread the granola on the baking sheets and bake until golden, about 20-22 minutes, rotating the pans half-way through and running a metal spatula beneath the granola to evenly brown. Allow the granola to cool completely on the pans, then toss with the dried fruit and store in an airtight container.
