Granola

Note: It's best to serve granola with an unsweetened, unflavored yogurt and let your guests add the sweetness themselves, passing honey or maple syrup at the table.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 F.

Stir together the oats, wheat germ, almonds, sunflower, pumpkin and sesame seeds, and the salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the oil and stir until the mixture is evenly coated. Spread the mixture out in a roughly even layer on a sheet pan and bake it for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, pull the granola from the oven. Sprinkle the sugar over it, then stir the contents of the pan to help distribute the sugar and to help the granola cool. Let the pan sit at room temperature to cool the granola.

Once cooled, return the granola to the mixing bowl, toss it together with the raisins and transfer it to an airtight container. Serve with yogurt and honey.
