The ingredients for basic homemade granola are:

dry ingredients, mix well in a HUGE bowl:
8 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup flaked (or shredded, I prefer flaked) coconut, unsweetened
1/2 cup ground flax seeds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 cup raisins
2 tbsp honey

wet ingredients, heat on stove until barely melted, stirring together:
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup coconut oil (preferably unrefined, but whatever)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract (optional but delicious)

Here is how you make basic homemade granola:

Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients until evenly mixed. This takes a few minutes, and I usually use a wooden spoon. Bake at 250*F, stirring well every 20 minutes for 45-90 minutes or until dry (the 'dry' bit can be misleading -- if I cook it for 90 mins, it looks dry but tastes a little burned. Experiment with your oven, but remember that it doesn't get crunchy until after it's cooled). Keep in a cool pantry for up to 2 weeks or in the fridge for up to 6 weeks. I usually put ours in one of those giant Tupperware bins and keep it in the cupboard.Serving Size: makes 30 1/3-cup servingsNumber of Servings: 30Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MONIQUEARIELLE.
