Ingredients

  • 4 cups Oats, (old Fashioned Not Instant)
  • 1 cup Oat Groats
  • 1 cup Almonds (slivered Or Sliced)
  • 1 cup Flaked Unsweetened Coconut
  • 1 cup Cranberries
  • 1/4 cups Flax Seeds
  • 3 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds
  • 1 cup Butter
  • 1-13 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt
  • 13 cups Cream
  • 13 cups Honey

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare a sheet pan with a silpat or parchment.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oats, groats, almonds, coconut, cranberries, flax seeds and sesame seeds.
  • Set aside.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the sugar and salt to the melted butter.
  • Stir until the sugar has melted.
  • Add the cream and stir until the caramel is smooth.
  • Pull the pot of the heat and dump the bowl of oats into the pot.
  • Add the honey to the pot.
  • Stir the granola mixture with a large wooden spoon.
  • The granola should get pretty well coated with the caramel mixture, but the baking process will spread the caramel further.
  • Spread the granola over the prepared sheet pan, and press it down firmly with a spatula.
  • Bake the granola at 325F for about 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan half way through.
  • When you remove the granola from the oven, it should be dark golden brown.
  • Let it cool for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Then turn the pan upside down onto a cutting board, and turn the granola out in one sheet.
  • Peel the paper or silpat off the bottom.
  • The bottom will be caramely and crispy.
  • Cut the granola into pieces.
  • Store them in Tupperwear or package in cellophane bags and tie with a ribbon.
