Best Granola Ever

This granola has completely replaced store-bought cereals at our house. It tastes great with milk, on yogurt, crunched onto bananas, and straight.

Recipe is adapted from Molly Katzen's Crunchy Granola

Mix together:
3 C. rolled oats
1 C. rolled barley (or use all oats)
1 C. oatbran
1 C. chopped nuts (I prefer almonds and pecans)
3/4 C. canola oil
1/2 C. honey
1 Tbl. vanilla extract
1 C. dry milk powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. mixed, chopped dried fruit
1 C. unsweetened coconut
1 C. wheat germ

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix together the rolled oats, barley, oat bran, and nuts. Mix together the oil, honey, and vanilla then add to oat mix using hands. With hands mix in dried milk and salt. Pour onto a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Pull from oven and stir in dried fruit, coconut, and wheat germ then continue to bake for 10-15 minutes until golden. Cool completely and then store in the freezer--this keeps it fresh and crunchy. One batch fits in 2 canning jars or a gallon zip-lock.
