Pecan Molasses Granola Recipes

EASY MOLASSES WALNUT GRANOLA

Steps:

• Put brown sugar, oil and molasses in large bowl, microwave for 30 seconds, then mix well with a wooden spoon.
• Pour oats, nuts, and seeds on top of the mixture and mix everything well.
• Line a large baking pan with aluminum foil and spray the foil lightly with spray oil. Spread the mixture evenly onto this pan.
• Bake in preheated 350 oven for 20 - 30 minutes. Stir well after the first 10 minutes and then at 5 minute intervals until everything is lightly browned.
• Let cool (watch out -- the nuts are HOT when they first come out of the oven) and store in airtight bags or containers.

ULTIMATE IRRESISTIBLE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, wheat germ, coconut and sunflower seeds. In a small pan over medium heat, stir together the oil and honey. Cook and stir until blended. You could also do this in a large measuring cup in the microwave, heating for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Pour over the oat mixture, and stir to coat evenly. Spread out in an even layer on two cookie sheets.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the oats and nuts are toasted. Immediately after it comes out of the oven, stir in the raisins and dried cranberries. Let stand until cooled, and stir again to break up any large clusters. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, but I guarantee it won't be around that long!

Break it into chunks and store in an airtight container.
