Doris' Granola

Okay, girls, here's the basic granola recipe. I like it. It's easy and good. I threw in some slivered almonds. I'd like to add raisins or craisins, but my kids would not go for it. Add whatever you like: sunflower seeds, walnuts, etc.

2 c. whole wheat flour

6 cups reg. rolled oats

1 c. coconut

1 c. wheat germ

1/2 c. water

1 c. oil

1 c. honey or corn syrup

2 tsp. vanilla

1 T. salt.

Combine flour oats, coconut and wheat germ in a large bowl. In separate bowl, mix all other ingredients. Add liquids to dry and mix thoroughly. Spread on 2 greased cookies sheets and bake at 250 for 1 hour (I did 30 minutes more after stirring it around). Store airtight.

I used honey because I have a bunch. (Every time my boys scrape Sister Yack's sidewalks they get more :) The most expensive thing is the wheat germ. It's a little less expensive at Walmart. The blogger I got this from substituted wheat bran for wheat germ.?? If you don't have a way to grind wheat for the flour, bring it on over. I have a very noisy, but effective wheat grinder.
