Recipe--Granola

After trying many recipes, I think we’ve found one that everyone loves and that is easy to make in large quantities. The following recipe came from a blog that I have enjoyed reading lately. You can find the original recipe here, while the following is our modified version to suit our family.

Granola

7 Cups of rolled oats

1 Cup of dry milk

1 Cup of almonds, lightly chopped

1 Cup of sunflower seeds, salted

1 Cup of shredded unsweetened coconut

1 Cup of whole wheat flour

4 Teaspoons of cinnamon

¾ Cup of oil

1 Cup of honey

3 Teaspoons of vanilla

2 Cups of dried fruit

Place all dry ingredients, except the dried fruit, into a large bowl and combine. Measure and add the oil. Do the same with the honey in the same measuring cup. (The oil will help release the honey so none is wasted.) Add the vanilla and combine everything well, breaking apart really large chunks into smaller ones.

Spread granola on 3 large baking sheets covered in aluminum foil and greased. Bake at 300 degrees for about 20 minutes, stirring/turning it once halfway through, or until it has browned to your liking. After the granola comes out of the oven, sprinkle with the dried fruit. Stir the fruit into the granola. Let cool completely and store.



All of our granola in Tupperware containers. It makes a lot of granola!
