By BCVH

Enjoy it with milk, yogurt or on its own. It's even a tasty topping for ice cream.

Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats (not instant)
• 1 cup roasted peanuts
• 1/4 cup wheat germ
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup canola oil
• 1 cup honey
• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup raisins

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with unsalted butter. In a large bowl, combine the oats, peanuts, wheat germ, coconut, cinnamon and salt. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the canola oil, honey, peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until the mixture is completely combined - do not allow to simmer.

Pour warm peanut-butter mixture into bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated. Spread the granola in the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Allow the granola to cool, then break it into chunks. Transfer to an airtight container suitable for storage; add the raisins and mix until well combined.
