Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
Step 2.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine ½ cup canola oil, ½ cup light brown sugar, ½ cup honey, 2 tablespoons molasses, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Stir until well combined and the sugar is dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Step 3.
In a large bowl, toss together 8 cups rolled oats, 1 pound chopped nuts (such as pecans, walnuts, or cashews), 2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes, 8 ounces wheat germ, and ¼ cup flax meal or seeds.
-
Step 4.
Pour the warm oil mixture over the oat mixture and stir thoroughly until all dry ingredients are evenly coated.
-
Step 5.
Spread the granola mixture in a thin, even layer on 2 large baking sheets. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes to ensure even browning. The granola is done when golden brown and fragrant.
-
Step 6.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheets, about 30 minutes. While the granola cools, prepare the dried fruit: chop 4 ounces dried apples and 4 ounces dried apricots if not already chopped.
-
Step 7.
Once the granola is cool, stir in 4 ounces dried raisins or cherries, the chopped dried apples, and chopped dried apricots. Optionally, add sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried blueberries, or cacao nibs to taste.
-
Step 8.
Transfer the finished granola to quart jars or an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
