Aiden’s Granola

Fills a 1 gal. jar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine in a large bowl:

• 8 cups rolled oats ( I use Bob’s Red Mill organic extra-thick rolled oats)
• 3 cups finely chopped nuts
• 1 cup sesame seeds
• 2 cups coconut flakes

I also add wheat germ if I have it. 1/2 cup wheat germ.

Combine separately:

• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup real maple syrup   (You can use all honey but it’s sweeter)
• 2/3 cup oil
• 1 Tbs real vanilla
• 4 tsp cinnamon

Mix liquid thoroughly and stir into dry ingredients.

Spread out on multiple greased baking pans. It fits on one commercial sheet pan, but I think 3-4 regular baking sheets would work.

• Bake for 12 minutes (I use convection)
• Stir with a metal spatula
• Bake another 8-12 minutes.   Ovens will vary so watch it so the granola doesn’t burn.

Add 2 cups of craisins after it comes out of the oven and it’s still hot.

Allow it to cool.

Store in an air tight container.
