Yummy Granola


A friend gave me this recipe and I changed it a bit but it is so yummy.  This recipe is not a super sweet one like some that you buy are.  Just enough sweetness I think.  The kids loved it too. I doubled the recipe.

4 C. oatmeal
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 C. coconut
1/2 C. brown sugar
3 Tbsp. wheat germ
1/4 C. sunflower seeds (I think next time I will use almonds)
1/4 C. oil
1/4 C. milk
1/4 C. liquid sweetener such as honey, corn syrup, molasses, agave nectar or any combination of these.
     (I used corn syrup because that is what I had on hand)
3 C. puffed wheat or puffed rice or rice krispies ( I used rice krispies because I wanted the extra crunch)

Mix all the dry ingredients except the puffed wheat in a large bowl.  Mix the oil, milk, and honey in a small container.  Pour liquid ingredients into dry and mix well.  Add the puffed wheat and mix well.  Spread granola on a large baking tray and bake at 315 for 30 minutes stirring at least once.  It is done when it looks toasted and crunchy.

This is how much a double batch makes.
