Isn't It Grand? Or Yummy Granola!

Happy Today!

I just received a great and grand recipe for granola and just couldn't wait to try it out and share it with you guys. It is really good and much easier than I thought.

Great and Grand Granola

3 1/2 cups uncooked oatmeal

1/2 cup flaked coconut

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans

1/2 cup wheat germ

1/4 cup sesame seeds

1/4 cup sunflower kernals

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 cup raisins (optional)

 Combine the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.

 Combine the next 3 ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, and stir until heated through. Remove from heat and add next two ingredients. Stir well until blended.

 Drizzle the honey mixture over oatmeal mixture and toss to coat. Spread evenly on a jelly roll pan. Bake at 250 for 50 minutes to 90 minutes or until toasted and dry. Check and stir every 20 minutes.

Add raisins after baking, if desired. Allow granola to cool and store in an airtight container. Makes about 8 cups. Have fun and enjoy this granola that really is great and grand for your mouth as well as your body :)
