Granola

By Hklbrries

Remember, when you're baking granola, stir frequently, as it has a tendency to burn quickly. Also, make certain the mixture has cooled thoroughly before storing in tightly sealed containers at room temperature. This will ensure that your crunchy concoction remains crisp.

• 1/4 cup canola oil

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 F.

Combine the oats, oil, sugar and cinnamon. Spread mixture into an even layer on a half-sheet pan and bake until fragrant and lightly toasted, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.

Add the sunflower seeds, coconut, wheat germ, sesame seeds, almonds and walnuts to the mixture in the pan. Stir together, spread into an even layer on the pan, and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes; stir as needed. Add the raisins and cool completely.

Store granola in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
