Bears Granola Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • If you are making 3X the recipe, get out a very large bowl and two large baking pans with a lip of at least two inches on each. (If making smaller amount, one pan would do.) Put some vegetable oil in your hand and run it all around the bottom of your baking pans and up the sides. Preheat oven to 300 degrees and place the rack for your pans in the middle of the ovens. In the large bowl, mix together uncooked old fashioned oats, wheat germ, coconut, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and nuts. In a saucepan, combine corn oil, honey, vanilla and salt. Cook over low heat until honey is melted. Pour over the dry mixture and blend thoroughly with both hands.
  • Spread this mixture evenly in your lightly oiled large baking pan and bake at 300 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes, especially around the edges. When the granola reaches the color of pecans, it is done. Remove from oven, stir and cool. This stirring after it comes out of the oven and occasionally while cooling, keeps it from hardening in the pan. When cool, add chopped dried cherries and chopped golden raisins. Stir well and store in a plastic bag or airtight container. Must be refrigerated. Freezes well.
  • A great gift for a friend is a basket with all of these ingredients and the recipe.
