Food for Life – Granola and Roast

Recipe – Granola

Submitted by Barbara Bender

In a large bowl, place the following ingredients:

8 cups rolled oats

1 cup coconut

1 cup chopped pecans

1/3 cup sesame seeds

In a separate bowl combine the following:

1 cup oil

1 cup honey

1/3 cup water

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix the wet and dry ingredients together. Spread in a large cake pan (17 x 20). Bake for 2 hours at 250 degrees, stirring two or three times during the baking process, until oatmeal is golden brown. If the granola mixture is quite thick, it may require a few more minutes of baking time to turn it golden brown.

Cool and enjoy with Sun Soy, juice, or berries. Dates, raisins, or other dried fruit may be chopped and added to the granola after it has cooled, if you like.

Raw granola can be made into a cookie by adding enough flour and water to be cookie-dough consistency and baking at 350 degrees until golden brown.
