Good Morning Granola!

I have been making this granola recipe, ripped from a Martha Stewart magazine, for at least 10 years. One would think I would know it from heart (I do not!). Here it is…

Makes 6 1/2 cups

1/2 c shredded coconut

4 cups old fashioned rolled oats (not quick oats!)

1/4 c toasted wheat germ (sometimes I substitute flax)

1/4 c sunflower seeds

1 c coarsely chopped almonds

1 tbsp sesame seeds

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 c honey

1/2 c melted butter

1/2 c golden raisins (you can omit if you are not a raisin fan)

Heat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment and toast coconut (approx 5 min). Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Reduce oven temp to 300. Line two baking sheets with parchment and set aside. In a large bowl mix all dry ingredients together except the raisins. In a smaller bowl mix the honey and butter together and pour over oat mixture. Stir well and spread on baking sheets. Bake until golden, approx 25 min. Transfer to a rack to cool. Break up granola, mix in coconut and raisins. Store in an airtight container and ENJOY!
