GRANOLA

My friend, Valeta Schwab gave me this recipe.  She said she received it from our mutual friend, Irene Allred.  It works very well in my Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.


Mix well in large oven safe metal bowl or pan:
       6 cups quick or old fashioned oats 
          (can use half of each)
       1 cup nuts / seeds of choice (such as ground flax 
          seed, oat bran, raw sunflower,pumpkin seeds, 
          almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds)
       1/2 - 3/4 cup brown sugar
       1/2 cup coconut ( opt.)
       1-1/2 tsp. Cinnamon (opt.)

Pour over the top:
       1/2 cup vegetable oil ( safflower, canola, ,etc.)
       1 Tbsp. vanilla flavor 


Stir well then place bowl in pre-heated 300o oven (or spread on cookie sheets.)

Toast in 300o oven stirring about every 15 minutes until it is toasted the the way you like.

OPTIONS:
1. To make the mix more clumpy, drizzle 1-2 Tbsp. Honey
    over top of mix and use less brown sugar.

2. Add raisins or other dried fruit the last 5 minutes of toasting.

3. Instead of vanilla flavoring, use almond, maple or 
    coconut flavoring.
