Granola
Step 1
To an extremely large mixing bowl, add:
12 cups (48 oz) regular rolled oats
Optional, replace half oats with rolled wheat
1 1/2 cup wheat germ
1 cup wheat bran
1 cup wheat flour (freshly milled if available)
1 cup slivered almonds
1 1/4 cups raw sunflower seeds
1 1/2 cups coconut
Set aside.
Step 2
In a small pot, combine:
1 cup oil
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 Tbsp corn syrup
1 Tbsp vanilla (optional)
1 tsp salt
Melt together, stirring regularly (approximately 3-5 minutes).
Step 3
Pour melted sugar mixture over rolled oats mixture, stirring to combine.
Keep sifting and stirring and crushing clumps until mixture is evenly coated.
Even distribution will help the granola bake uniformly, allowing for the most delicious results
Divide equally between 2 - 13” x 9” greased glass baking dishes.
Step 4
Place both filled baking dishes in oven and turn oven to 300F:
Bake for 20 minutes, carefully remove hot pan from oven and stir the granola
Repeat bake & stir an additional two times
Bake for a total of 60 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely. Transfer cooled granola to air-tight containers. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
