Homemade Granola



4 cups of Organic Oats
1/2 cup of wheat germ
1/4 cup of brown sugar
dash of salt
2 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 cup of shredded coconut
1/2 cup of walnuts
1/2 cup of raisins
1/2 cup of dried cranberries
1/3 cup of honey
1/3 cup of coconut oil or olive oil ( I like coconut)
1/2 cup of water

In a large mixing bowl mix all dry ingredients together. Oats, wheat germ, brown sugar, cinnamon, coconut, salt and walnuts. *Do Not add raisins and cranberries*

Make a well in the center of the mixed dry ingredients pour all liquid ingredients (water, oil, honey) and mix all ingredients together well.
Spread granola on a cookie sheet or flat pan, put into preheated oven (175 C or 325 F) bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Be sure to watch and stir every 10 minutes the granola can burn easily.
When lightly browned take out of oven put into a bowl and mix in the raisins and cranberries and cool. After granola is cooled it should be crispy if not you may want to bake a bit longer.

To store put into a jar with a tight lid. You can enjoy as a snack at anytime of the day. It is very delicious in milk or soy milk or mixed in yogurt.
