Granola ............................. 300F
Mix dry ingredients together:
10 C rolled oats
1 C unsalted sunflower seeds (or more if you like)
2 C chopped almonds
1 C oat bran
2-3 Tbsp cinnamon
~ 1/2 C brown sugar (basically to taste)
In saucepan on low, add:
1/2 C butter
1/2 C olive oil
Warm until butter is melted.
Stir in 4 tsp vanilla.
Pour over dry mixture and mix well.
Spread on shallow baking dish (I use a lasagna pan but don’t make the layer of granola very deep, maybe about an inch thick)
Bake for 20 mins at 300F stirring once. You’ll have a few batches to bake from that amount of mixture.
If you want to add other stuff, do it AFTER baking. Raisins burn easily and after picking burned raisins out of a batch of granola, I learned to always add them AFTER baking.
Instead of raisins, you can add crasins, or we add shredded coconut and Nestles mini-morsels.
The recipe also originally called for about 1 C of wheat germ but we wanted a wheat free granola so just cut it out.
Addition........ I forgot to add about making chopped almonds
