Homemade Granola!

I just made a wonderful batch of home made Granola. I am AMAZED at home much money it costs to buy Granola in a store! It is really easy to make and you can always change it up and make it your own. I love to make granola. I have a very simple recipe for it and would love to share it with you.

Granola
Combine:
2 cups Wheat Flour( I only use 1 cup)
6 cups oats ( I use the old fashioned kind)
1 cup shredded Coconut
1 cup wheat germ or sunflower seeds

Blend together:
1/2 cup water
1 cup oil
1 cup honey
2 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 250 degree. Add Liquids to dry ingredients. Mix well and spread out on 2 shallow pans lined with wax paper. Bake 1 hour till golden brown. ( I stir it half way through cooking time.)

Now that is the basic recipe and I actually add craisins, almonds, pecans, and any other stuff I want. You could add raisins, chocolate chips(after cooked) dried cherries.

My Mom has a very Easy recipe too that I love if I am in the mood for a sweeter granola. It is yummy but a bit more sweeter then the recipe above.
