Ingredients List
- 2 1/2 c Quick-cooking oatmeal
- 1 c Shredded coconut
- -(unsweetened, from a health
- -food store)
- 1/3 c Untoasted sunflower seeds
- 1/4 c Hulled sesame seeds
- 4 tb Margarine
- 1/4 c (packed) dark brown sugar

- 1/2 ts Salt
- -(omit salt if using
- - salted margarine)
- 1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
- 1/2 c Toasted wheat germ
- 1/2 c Raisins
Directions
Preheat the oven to 300~.
Spread the oatmeal, coconut, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds in a large,
lightly buttered roasting pan or ovenproof dish (about 11x17 inches is
best, although a smaller pan will do). Bake for about 20 minutes, tossing
several times.
Meanwhile, combine in a small saucepan the margarine, brown sugar, honey
and salt and bring to a simmer, stirring. Add the vanilla off the heat.
Reset the oven to 350~ then add the wheat germ to the toasted mixture.
Dribble the sugar-honey mixture syrup over the granola, tossing with a fork
to coat the dry mixture evenly.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 5-6 minutes longer. Add the
raisins, toss to distribute, and press the granola down firmly into an even
layer. Bake 5 minutes or so longer, or until the granola is golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slip a flexible spatula under
the granola to break in to large pieces. Let cool completely and store
airtight.
Makes 6 cups.
