Ingredients

  • 1 -2 cup coconut
  • 6 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup wheat germ
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/4 cup honey or 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla flavoring
  • 4 tablespoons oil
  • 1 1 cup pecans (or whatever else you have on hand) or 1 cup walnuts (or whatever else you have on hand)
  • 1 cup water
  • cinnamon
  • nutmeg, to taste

Method

  • Mix coconut, oats, wheat germ, salt, sugar, nuts, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add honey, vanilla, oil, and water.
  • Mix well again squishing and compacting with both hands.
  • Place granola on 2 cooking pans, can make some clumps and some flat, and cook at 150°C (300°F).
  • Take granola out every 10-15 minutes to mix on pan so it doesn't burn.
  • Cook until dry and has started to turn slightly brown throughout. Can take 1-2 hours (or more) to bake (I usually double the recipe and cook on 4 pans throughout the day to have more stored because of the long cooking time).
