Ingredients

4 cups rolled oats (not quick or instant)

3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

3/4 cup unprocessed bran

3/4 cup natural wheat germ (not toasted or honey)

1/4 cup walnuts

1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup golden raisins

2 cups fresh fruit

Whole milk

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Stir to blend oats, sugar, bran, wheat germ, walnuts, and sunflower seeds.

In a small pan, heat the oil, honey, and vanilla over medium flame, stirring until bubbly. Thoroughly mix liquids with dry ingredients. Bake in a large stainless steel bowl or a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to keep granola evenly browned. Stir again several times as the mixture cools to prevent it from sticking together.

When thoroughly cool, add the raisins. Store in an airtight container. Serve with fresh fruit and milk.

Makes: 8 cups
