| Gary went scouting the grocery store shelves for granola but was
surprised to learn that most of them included unhealthy sugars high on the list of
ingredients. So I pulled out an old granola recipe from back when we had munchkins
underfoot ... and the result is a not-too-sweet,
crunchy-with-nuts version. 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2. In large bowl combine: 8 cups old-fashioned oats 1 cup sunflower seeds ½ cup wheat germ ½ cup ground flax seed 3 cups chopped nuts (I use a combination of almonds, pecans and walnuts)3 . Combine in heavy saucepan over medium heat until blended (do not boil):4. Pour warm liquid over dry ingredients and stir until coated. 5 . Spread mixture evenly over two 12x17" cookie sheets. Bake for 50 minutes, stirring every 15-20 minutes, until golden brown (edges will brown first).6 . Let cool completely on cookie sheets before storing in airtight container. Serve with mixed berries or raisins. Makes approximately 12 cups. |
