Yummy Granola

I've tried so many granola recipes, or granilla as my kids call it,

and I've finally come up with one the whole family loves. 

(Even a certain very picky seven year old).

I'll admit right now, this isn't the healthiest of granola recipes,

but that's what you get when you have a picky little one,

you compromise. 

It's not completely unhealthy, 

it just has quite a bit of sweet in it,

and who doesn't love sweet? 

Mmm Mmm Tasty Granilla 

Heat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix together in a very large bowl:

8-10 c Rolled Oats

1-2 c Wheat Germ

In a saucepan mix together:

1/2 c Raw Honey

1/4 c Maple Syrup

1/2 c Brown Sugar

1 TB Vanilla

1 TB Cinnamon

1 1/2 tsp Ground Cloves (this ingredient is key to the tastiness)

1 tsp Salt

1/2 c Cold Pressed Coconut Oil

Stir on low heat until all ingredients are just melted.

Pour honey mixture over oats and stir to coat evenly.

Pour onto 2 shallow baking trays and place in oven.

Bake for 20-30 minutes depending on your preference for

chewy or crunchy granola, stirring once halfway through.

Watch it carefully, 

there is a fine line between toasted granola and burnt granola 

and the latter will make you very sad indeed.

If desired, stir in:
1-3 c Raisins or Dried Cranberries (or a combo)

This is so yummy sprinkled over yogurt, ice cream, or just in a bowl with milk.

Enjoy!
