Granola

6 cups old fashioned oatmeal in huge bowl.
Add mixed nuts (Our produce dept. has containers of this-just avoid chocolate covered anything)
Add dried fruit, 1 Tblsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, 1 Tblsp. baking cocoa, chia seeds, flax seeds, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, 1/4 cup brown sugar, a bit of nutritional yeast if you have it.

Use glass measuring cup - combine equal parts local honey, sunflower oil, maple syrup (or molasses) to measure 1 cup. Throw in some maple flavor or vanilla.
Mix well and pour over oatmeal mixture. Stir to coat everything. Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper (don't skip the paper) and divide granola between 2 pans. Bake 35 minutes at 300 degrees.
Let cool and pour back into big bowl, then stir up well.
I store mine in a crock, uncovered.

  • Best Granola ever!
    7c rolled oats
    1/2 c whole wheat flour
    1 c wheat germ
    1 1/2 c coconut (finely ground)
    1 tsp salt
    1 c raw almonds
    Put in large bowl.
    Blend together the following:
    1/2 c oil
    1/2 c warm water
    1 1/2 Tbs vanilla
    3/4 c brown sugar
    Stir into oats. Spread out onto large cookie sheet. I press it down because I like chunky granola. I bake 1 hour. Then using a spatula. Turn it over carefully. Keeping the large chunks. Bake another hour. When finished and cooled. I put it back into a large bowl. Then add raisins, craisins, sunflower seeds and anything you want to add. Yummy!!!
    I make this at home in large oven. In the RV you should cut it in half?
  • Coconut: one cup and sesame seeds 3 T.

    I make a lowerfat version without the oil and syrup/sugars but we love granola.
  • You forgot to add the nuts, chocolate chips and peanut M&M's. That's the only way I get tricked into eating granola. LOL!
