Crunchy Granola
By catgirl
In a very large bowl, combine the oats, coconut, wheat germ, nuts, and seeds
- 7 cups (1 1/2 pounds) rolled oats, uncooked
- 1 cup (4 ounces) flaked unsweetened coconut (optional, but good)
- 1 cup (4 ounces) stabilized wheat germ
- 1 cup (3 1/2 ounces) sliced almonds
- 1 cup (4 ounces) diced pecans or walnuts
- 1 cup (5 ounces) sunflower seeds, raw or toasted
- 1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (11 ounces) pure maple syrup*
- 1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) vanilla extract
- 5 cups (about 20 ounces) mixed dried fruit** (raisins, cranberries, cherries, diced pineapple, diced apricots, chopped dates, or the mixture of your choice)
- Pure maple syrup (as opposed to maple-flavored cane sugar syrup) makes a MUCH tastier granola. If you use "fake" syrup, be advised you’ll have to use a lot more to get the same degree of sweetness; probably an additional 1/2 cup.
- Our Fruitcake Fruits (King Arthur), 20 ounces of tasty dried apricots, raisins, pineapple, dates, and cranberries, is the perfect size for this recipe.
