Golden Granola image

So many commercially made granolas are laced with sweetener and unwanted trans-fatty acids. They are just plain yucky and easily go rancid by the time you buy them off the shelf. A homemade version is very simple to make and worth the effort.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Yield Makes 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound rolled oats
1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut (or sweetened, if you prefer)
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup safflower oil
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup water

1/2 cup dried cranberries, blueberries, or other dried chopped fruit

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the oats, coconut, almonds, sesame seeds, wheat germ, and salt. Separately whisk together the oil, honey, water, and vanilla; stir it into the oat mixture.
