Ingredients

6 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup sesame seeds

3/4 cup sunflower seeds, raw

1 cup dried coconut

1/2 cup dried date pieces

1/2 cup raisins and/or Craisins (dried cranberries)

1/2 cup light oil

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup molasses

1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In separate pan, oven roast the oats, walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds until lightly toasted; cool. In a large bowl, combine all toasted ingredients with coconut, dates, and raisins. Set aside.

Combine oil, brown sugar, honey, molasses, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until well-combined and warm to the touch. (Do not boil!)

Pour liquid mixture over dry mixture and mix well. Turn out and flatten onto a greased cookie sheet pan and roast at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Remove from oven, cool, and store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place.

Makes: about 1 gallon of granola.
