Homemade granola is loaded with fruit, nuts, healthy seeds, and fiber. If you love trail mix or gorp, try this version. Feel free to adjust the amounts to suit your own personal tastes. Great for party snacks and back-to-school lunches.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1-1/2 cups quick rolled oats, uncooked
  • 2 cups bran cereal flakes
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1-1/2 cups raisins
  • 1 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup flaked coconut
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 Tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large jellyroll pan with parchment paper or Silpat baking liners.

Place rolled oats, bran cereal flakes, sunflower seeds, raisins, sesame seeds, pecans, and coconut in a large mixing bowl. Toss gently, taking care not to break the cereal flakes.

Place oil, honey, molasses, and vanilla in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, mixing to combine.

Pour the honey mixture over the granola and toss gently until completely coated. Spread the granola evenly over the lined jellyroll pan.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool to room temperature before storing in airtight containers.

Yield: about 7 cups
