Sigh. Oh well! All the more for mama!
Growing up I remember helping my mom make this granola - inevitably burning a batch because we forgot it was in the oven - sneaking spoonfuls before it was cooked because it was THAT GOOD - sneaking handfuls from storage because we couldn't resist. This stuff did not last long around our house!
It takes a little bit of work and patience to pull this together, but in the end you'll have buckets of granola you'll be able to enjoy for quite a while!
Homemade Granola
12 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups sunflower seeds
1 1/2 cups cashew pieces
1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut
2 cups raisins
1- 1 1/2 cups honey
1 cup sunflower oil (or vegetable, or other "flower/grain" oil)
2 teaspoons vanilla
P.S. This is my FAVOURITE oil for this granola :D
WATCH CLOSELY! Every ten minutes stir it up so it toasts evenly.
Allow to cool COMPLETELY before storing in a closed container - otherwise you will end up with chewy instead of crunchy granola.
Feel free to make any additions you would like! I added in chopped apricots - you could do with craisins, other nuts, other dried fruit - really, just go to town!
