Granola is one of the things I really like to make. I made some recently and this particular version is so lovely that I thought I would share:
Recipe:
4 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup oat bran
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup hulled sesame seeds
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup pecan halves
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup dried currants
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey
2 tbsp molasses
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees (180 C). Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and stir and stir until it is thoroughly mixed. Put it in a roasting pan or large casserole dish and stick it in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes taking it out and stirring it every 5 minutes to make sure it bakes evenly. Let cool thoroughly and store in an air tight container.
This recipe is very flexible, and I generally throw in what nuts and seeds are in the fridge. The pecan halves are a particularly nice touch.
