Steps:

• Position 1 oven rack about 6 inches from top heating element in oven; place second oven rack about 6 inches from bottom heating element. Heat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease 2 (15x10-inch) pans with sides with shortening or cooking spray.

HONEY NUT GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large oven-proof bowl or pan, melt butter in oven.
• After butter is melted, add honey and cinnamon and mix well until cinnamon is dissolved into the honey and oil.
• Add the oats, nuts, and coconut if desired.
• Mix until the oats and nuts are well coated with honey and butter/oil.
• Place in the oven for 30 minutes or until oats and nuts are well toasted, stirring frequently.
• Allow to cool and add dried fruit and store in an airtight container. This stores for at least a month in the pantry and much longer in the refrigerator.
• I generally triple or quadruple this recipe. Cooking time is considerably longer. Just make sure you stir at least every fifteen minutes.
• Oil may be substituted for butter. Wheat germ can also be added but tends to make the texture grainy.
