One of my good friends endlessly teases me about being a redhead and a hippy (a claim that I deny and get teased on that too). For Christmas, I figured I would give him the most hippy thing possible. So here is the recipe for my hippy homemade granola...minus the hula hoops
5 cups rolled oats
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup sesame seeds
2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup blanched slivered almonds
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
1 cup canola oil
1.5 cups honey or syrup (or combo it up)
1 cups raisins and 1 cups of cranberries
Heat oven to 325F. Melt oil and honey together over low heat and mix with other ingredients. Spread out evenly over 2 cookie sheets. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown, stirring a few times while baking. Remove granola from oven and stir in raisins and cranberries. Cool and store in an airtight container.
