Granola

This is a recipe from my mother-in-law that I used to make a lot. Evan goes through breakfast phases, and this, covered in whole-fat vanilla yogurt, was a phase for a long time. Recently, my sister Tori was asking for this recipe. Time to make it again!

Granola

• 8 cups uncooked oatmeal
• 3 cups wheat germ
• 4 cups bran flakes (I use raisin bran, surprise, surprise!)
• 1 cup honey
• 2/3 cup cooking oil
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• Raisins (optional-- I use raisin bran so it's a moot point)

Mix well. Spread onto 2 cooking sheets. Bake at 300° for 20 minutes. To make softer granola, do it for a slightly shorter time; if you like the crunch, extend the time.
