“Sometimes I feel like a nut… Sometimes I don’t” You have to love nuts, to like this granola because it’s filled with nuts. My daughter, Rebecca, and I sprinkle it over bowls of yogurt, cottage cheese, and fruit for a healthy breakfast.

8 Ounces Oatmeal
1/2 Cup Sunflower Seeds
1 Cup Almonds
1 Cup Pecans
1 Cup Walnuts
1 Cup Coconut, sweetened
1/2 Cup Wheat Germ
1/2 Cup Honey
1/4 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
1 Ounce Butter
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
6 1/2 Ounces Dried Fruit (Cranberries, cherries, raisins, etc)
Preheat oven 350
Spread oats, nuts, wheat germ onto half-sheet pan. Place in oven stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes or until toasted.
Combine honey, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Cook until butter is melted and sugar is completely dissolved.
Reduce oven to 300.
Combine liquid and dry oatmeal mixture. Pour into a large pan (I like to use my largest roasting pan) lined with parchment paper. Bake 45 to 50 minutes stirring every 15 minutes. Pour out hot granola onto your kitchen counter and break apart with the back of your spoon. Stir in the dried fruit if desired. When cool, store in a ziplock bag.
