- 1/2 cup nuts(sliced almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pistachios, etc, chopped, pine nuts or sunflower or pumpkin seeds or kernels) shopping list

How to make it
- In large bowl, combine oats, wheat germ, salt and nuts.
- In small saucepan, combine 1/4cup water, honey and oil and cook to boiling. Add lime zest and vanilla, reduce heat and simmer about 3 minutes.
- Carefully pour over oat mixture, reserving about 1/3 of the honey mixture.
- Toss to coat.
- Run hands under cool water and, with wet hands, pick up handfuls of mixture and lightly "press" together and carefully drop on sprayed cookie sheet.
- Continue with remaining mixture. This technique will create the tasty granola "clumps" in the finished mix. If you don't want those, just dump the oat mixture on the sheet. :)
- Keep bowl handy :)
- Bake at 250 for about 30 minutes, carefully stirring after 15.
- Remove sheet from oven, let cool a couple minutes til able to handle and carefully put back into original bowl.
- Add raisins/cranberries, coconut and remaining honey mixture and water and toss to mix.
- Once again, with wet hands, drop handfuls of mixture back to cookie sheet, as above.
- Continue to bake about 15 minutes more, until fruits start to plump and granola is golden brown.
