Ingredients

Feel free to cut this recipe in half, it makes 2 sheet pans full of healthy granola!

Dry Ingredients

8 cups rolled oats
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2-4 cups any nut of your preference (I usually mix nuts. Almonds, Pecans and Walnuts are my favorites)
2 Tblsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup real maple syrup (or molasses)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 Tblsp vanilla

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Chop any large nuts into bite-sized pieces. Mix together your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Over low heat, mix liquid ingredients until combined. Do not boil. Pour warm liquid over dry ingredients, stirring as you pour until all oats are covered and liquid is absorbed.

Divide mixture between two large baking sheets. Place them both in the oven on separate racks. Rotate every 30 minutes, removing the pans and stirring the granola each time you rotate. Bake until the healthy granola is a nice golden brown. Do not burn, but don’t let it be chewy either. I find that 1.5 hours (or 2 rotations) is perfect, but every oven is different so it’s best to keep an eye on it after the first rotation.

After the healthy granola is done baking, remove it from the oven, stir, and let sit until room temperature. Move to an airtight container or gallon bag to store.
