Inge's Best Granola Recipe

Hello Folks,

I wanted to share my Mom's awesome granola recipe.  Its surprisingly simple and unbelievably delicious.  It goes great with milk or yogurt or even on its own.

Please beware. This granola is kind of addicting.  After you have it once, all of a sudden you may what to eat it for every meal.

Here's the secret recipe :  Inge says: "change whatever you need and it should still be edible!"

7C oats

1C flaked coconut

1C wheat germ

1C sliced almonds

1C diced pecans or walnuts

1C sunflower seeds

1/2C canola oil

1/2t salt

1C maple syrup or honey

1T vanilla or almond extract

5C raisins - I used only about 3 C and it is fine!

Mix all the dry stuff in a big bowl.  Mix all the wet stuff (w/o raisins - they go in after it is all cooked)  Combine all!

Spread on a baking sheet w/ sides.

Bake 1.5hrs at 250F.  Toss lightly and stir every once in awhile.

Store in a dry container.  Sealed.
