Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups oats
  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup shredded coconut optional
  • 1/4 cup flax seed optional
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts optional
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup butter real
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Put oats, flour, coconut, flax seeds and nuts in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
  • In a sauce pan, over medium heat, combine brown sugar, honey, butter and water. Bring to a gentle boil and let bubble for a minute.
  • Take off heat and add cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and vanilla. Stir.
  • Pour over dry ingredients and stir until combined. Clumps should form. I like mine to be a little bigger than pea size. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  • Spread granola on an aluminum lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes and then gently stir. Repeat two times. Bake for a total of 45 minutes. Granola should be golden brown.
  • Let cool. Store in air tight container.
