Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Oats (NOT instant!)
  • 3/4 cup Brown sugar (Use up to a cup if you’d like more sweetness)
  • 1 cup Shredded coconut (more or less is fine, sweetened or unsweetened)
  • 1 cup sliced or chopped Almonds
  • 1 cup chopped Pecans, sunflower seeds, or more almonds
  • 2 cups crushed Cornflakes
  • 1/4 cup Wheat germ
  • 1/4 cup Flaxseed meal
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 2 tablespoon Molasses
  • 1 stick Butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In really large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients and stir (you may want to use your hands to work the brown sugar clumps through.)
  • Melt next 3 ingredients (honey, molasses, and butter) over stove and then pour over oat mixture and mix well.
  • Add ¼ -½ cups of water into the pan you melted the honey/butter/molasses in, swirl, then pour into granola. Work through until moistened but not wet.
  • Spread and pat down in 2 lightly sprayed or greased baking sheets and bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, stirring well halfway through.
  • After baking, leave undisturbed in baking sheets until completely cooled. (Note: The granola will not seem crispy enough when you remove it from the oven. This will be achieved through the cooling. Be careful not to burn the granola.)
  • Remove from pans with spatula. At this point, you can stir in raisins, other dried fruit, or even mini chocolate chips.
  • This granola stores and freezes well.

Notes

From Diane: This recipe is VERY forgiving in proportions. For many of the ingredients, it is just how much you personally want to put in.
