Honey Granola

Suzie Q’s Three Way Coco Crazy Granola

BY SUE DONAHUE

Preheat the oven for 280 degrees, or 300 degrees if you’re in a real hurry.

Mix these dry ingredients together in a big bowl:

  • 4 cups old fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup oat bran
  • 3/4 cup wheat germ
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1½ tsp salt

In a double boiler, mix this warmed oil mixture:

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 Tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberry
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup sliced dried dates, apricots, figs – whatever you got

Add warmed oil mixture to the dry ingredients and toss until fully mixed.

Spread onto parchment lined cookie sheets (you may also use silicone sheets). I use two cookie sheets to create a thin layer of granola, better to toast the oats and nuts.
