Moms Granola Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, stir together the oats, wheat germ, coconut, sunflower seeds and almonds. In a separate bowl, mix together the oil, honey, boiling water, brown sugar, salt and vanilla. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until evenly coated. Spread in a thin layer on a large baking sheet.
• Bake for 60 to 90 minutes in the preheated oven. Stir every 30 minutes, until lightly toasted and fragrant. Granola will crisp up more when cooled.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line a 9-inch square baking sheet with foil, allowing the foil to extend over the sides of the pan. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mix the oats, almonds, coconut, cranberries, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
• Combine butter, honey and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring with a rubber spatula until well coated. Transfer the oat mixture to the prepared pan, and using the spatula, press the oats evenly into pan.
• Bake until the top is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Using the foil, lift the granola out of pan and place it on work surface. Crumble the granola into pieces and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
