Okay, so maybe it’s not famous, exactly, but it should be. I have been wanting to make homemade granola for a very long time, but just didn’t know where to start. So I was VERY excited when my friend, Kim, told me that her mom made an awesome granola AND that she was willing to share. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup wheat bran
1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup dried milk
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup vegetable OR olive oil
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup raisins
Dash of cinnamon
Dash ground cloves
Dash nutmeg
Capful of vanilla
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all ingredients into a bowl (except the raisins) and pour into an oiled 9†X 13†baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes; stir; bake 15 minutes more. Remove from oven and stir in ½ cup of raisins.
Did I change anything? I couldn’t find any raw sunflower seeds, so I used pepitas instead.
What did the family think? I am the only one who’s had it so far, but I know my hubby will like it.

I love homemade granola and it is great on yogurt and ice cream. This recipe sounds great but i will have to substitute ingredients to make it gluten-free.
