Steps

1. Combine all ingredients-make sure there are not any dry spots. Spread evenly onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350F for 25-35 minutes. I usually do 30 minutes.

Makes great cereal or just a treat.

A huge favorite of our family! Surgeon General's Warning: the combined contents of this recipe may be addictive.

Ingredients for 24 servings

• 12 cups rolled oats (not quick)
• 1 cup sesame seeds
• 1.5 cups roasted/no salt pumpkin seeds
• 1.5 cups raw sunflower seeds
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 1 cup extra light virgin olive oil
• 1 cup honey
• 1.5 cups brown sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp vanilla

Steps

1. In a large bowl, stir together all oats, seeds, and nuts.
2. In a small saucepan, mix together the oil, honey, sugar, and salt. Heat until just before boiling to dissolve sugar. Then add the vanilla.
3. Pour liquid over the dry ingredients and mix well. Spray pans thoroughly with cooking oil. Divide the granola into two large sided cookie sheets. Press firmly (I use a small rolling pin) so it can be cut into bars after baking. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes. Cool and cut into pieces. Store in zip-lock bags and freeze until ready to use.
