Ingredients
-
Base:
8 C rolled oats
1/2 C pecans, coarsely chopped
1/2 C walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 C raw sunflower seeds
1/2 C raw almonds, coarsely chopped
1/2 C flax seed, ground
Binding:
1 1/2 C brown sugar, packed
1/2 C water
4 t vanilla extract
1 t salt
1/2 t ground nutmeg
1 T cinnamon
1 T ground ginger
Directions
Preheat the oven to 275 F.
Place oats, seeds, nuts and flax in a large bowl.
Line 2 cookie sheets with silpat or parchment paper.
Add water and sugar in a 4 cup microwave cup. Microwave on full power for 5 minutes, until sugar is completely dissolved.
Into the sugar mix add the salt, vanilla and spices. Stir thoroughly.
Pour sugar mixture over the oat and nut mixture.
Blend very well. This will take a few minutes - you want all the dry mix to be sticky and completely incorporated with the sugar mixture. I use a stiff spatula and a pastry blender to get this done.
Divide mixture between the two cookie sheets. Bake 45-60 minutes, or until it is as golden as you wish.
The granola will continue to crisp up as it cools off.
After the granola has cooled completely, mix in dried fruit if desired (I actually do it each morning, as my mood changes on the fruit I want or have on hand!).
Makes 20 1/2 cup servings.
