My Famous Granola

I’ve had so many requests for my granola recipe – so I am going to share it here.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Mix into a large casserole dish:

5 cups rolled oats (old fashioned oatmeal)
1 cup unsweetened coconut
3/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup flax seeds

Roast in oven for 20 min or until the coconut starts to brown.

In large saucepan on stove melt together:

1/2 cup butter, salted
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup molasses

Remove from heat and add:

3t vanilla

Mix sauce with oatmeal mixture. Turn oven to 350 degrees and bake for 5 more minutes.

We serve ours with homemade vanilla yogurt, but milk works great too!

I love making this quick breakfast! You can change it up to whatever pleases you, but this is our favorite combination:

3 cups rolled oats
1 cup soynuts, unsalted
1 cup raw sunflower kernels
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 cup unsweetened carob chips
1/4 cup flax seeds

My kids eat this with milk or yogurt mixed in, but I like it plain. It’s a good snack right before bed for those with low blood sugar issues.
