Cookie sheets

makes a lot

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

3/4 c. raw cashews

1/4 c raw sunflower seeds

1/4 c brown sesame seeds

1 c unsweetened, flakes coconut

1/2 c bran flakes

1/2 c wheat germ

6 cups rolled oats

generous 1/3 c mild-tasting oil (veggie oil)

1/2 c honey

1/2 c whole wheat flour

1/4 c milk powder

1 c raisins

On two cookies sheets, evenly sprinkle first the cashews, then sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, coconut, bran, wheat germ, and oats on both of the pans.  Try to cover the nuts entirely with oats to prevent them from burning.  Bake 10 minutes.  Remove and use spatula to turn the oat mixture.  Bake 5 more minutes or until nuts start to brown.  Repeat with second pan (or bake simultaneously). Cool both pans.  

Combine oil and honey and warm in the microwave.  Transfer the oat mixture to a large bowl.  Dump in the whole wheat flour and milk powder and combine by hand.  Pour on the warm honey mixture until the oats are thoroughly coated with oil and honey.  Spread the mixture evenly onto the 2 cookie sheets.

Bake the pans of granola for 7 to 10 minutes.  Turn the contents with a spatula and bake another 5 or so minutes. Watch carefully! Don't let it burn!

When completely cooled, pour the granola into a big bowl and stir in the raisins.
