Ingredients

  • 2½ cups rolled oats old-fashioned
  • ½ cup almonds sliced, unsalted
  • ½ cup pecans coarsely chopped, unsalted
  • ½ cup walnuts coarsely chopped, unsalted
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds unsalted
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • ½ cup wheat germ toasted
  • 1 cup coconut shredded, sweetened

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a 13 x 18-inch (33 x 46-cm) rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. (If using parchment sheets, line the pan first with heavy-duty aluminum foil, then parchment.)
  2. Combine the oats, almonds, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, wheat germ, coconut, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl and mix well.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and oil until emulsified. Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well.
  4. Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring and re-spreading a few times with a spatula, until the entire mixture is medium golden brown. Watch carefully towards the end; granola burns quickly and will brown first in the corners and on the bottom.
  5. Toss the granola with a spatula and mix in the dried fruits. Spread and press into an even, compact layer, then let cool on a rack to room temperature. Break the granola into large clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Store granola in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Thaw granola overnight at room temperature before serving for best texture.
