13 cups rolled oats (1 kg) **(quick oats)
1 cup whole raw flaxseed **(ground flaxseed)
1 cup wheat bran **(oat bran) --optional
2 cups raisins
2 cups dried cranberries
1 cup small-diced dried apricots (apprx. 17 dried apricots)
3 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
3 cups sliced almonds **(or mixture of favorite chopped nuts, i.e. cashews, walnuts)

Tips
You can modify all of the ingredients to the amounts that you find more suitable. But just to have a balanced granola you should have the same amount of oats to the total amount of other dry ingredients. I have used dried figs and dried cherries instead of the raisins and cranberries that turned out nicely. If you like your granola to be more chewy instead of crunchy you should eliminate the oil.
Directions
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Oil large broiling pan that came with oven or use 2 large baking pans.
2. In very large bowl or large pot mix together oats, flaxseeds, bran, raisins, cranberries, diced apricot pieces, coconut, and almonds.
3. In separate med bowl smash bananas with back of fork until smooth, add olive oil, honey, and almond extract, mix well. Add these wet ingredients to the oat mixture until thoroughly mixed. You may need to use your hands to get everything totally mixed.
4. Mixture should be slightly wet and clumpy. Spread mixture evenly on oiled broiling pan. Bake for 1 hr. stirring every 20 minutes or until granola is dry and slightly browned. Remove from oven and let it sit in pan for another 15 minutes to continue drying and cooling down.
