Granola

Granola

5 cups oats

1 cup bran

¾ cup sunflower seeds

¼ cup wheat flakes or rye flakes

1 cup toasted almonds

½ cup vegetable oil

½ cup honey

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup raisins – optional

Preheat oven to 325.

In a large bowl combine: oats, bran, sunflower seeds, wheat/rye flakes and almonds.

In a small saucepan heat vegetable oil and honey over medium heat.  DO NOT BOIL.

Remove from heat and add vanilla.   Pour warm honey mixture over dry ingredients.  Stir well to coat.  Pour into 9X13 jelly roll pan.  Bake 30 min until toasted, stirring occasionally.  Add raisins while cooling on the counter. 

**I usually throw in flax seed and some pumpkin seeds. 
    I cut oil amount in half and worked great. I'll keep backing off     on the oil to see how that works.
    Add unsweetened shredded coconut.
    I cut almonds in half - I think I like that better.
