Favorite Granola

I found this recipe in a library book back in 2001.   I enjoy it as my morning cereal especially when the weather is warm.  It’s very filling and satisfying with some healthy ingredients.

• Servings: 8 cups
• Print

• 3/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup peanut oil
• 7 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1-1/2 cups wheat bran
• 1/2 cup wheat germ

I use a huge vintage graniteware pan that is about the equivalent of two 9×9″ pans.  Spray pans with non-stick spray.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

In a small saucepan, heat honey and oil over medium heat for about 4 minutes.

In a large bowl mix oats, wheat bran and wheat germ.  Drizzle the honey/oil mixture over and mix well.

Spread mixture in sprayed pans about 3/4″ thick.

Bake uncovered in 250 degree F oven for one hour, stirring about every 20 minutes.  Note:  Use a pan with sides to avoid having cereal crumbs all over the oven when you stir.

Cool granola, then spoon into one-quart containers.  Refrigerate if not used within 2 weeks.

Makes approximately two quarts of granola (8 cups).

I like to add some walnuts and dried fruit with each serving along with some good cold milk.
