This is me wingin’ it with what I have…

• 3 c. oats (I used quick-oats because I accidentally bought the wrong stuff.  Worked great.)
• 1/3 c. oil
• 1/3 c. sugar
• 1/3 c. honey
• 1/3 c. wheat germ
• 1/3 c. coconut flakes
• 1/2 t. cinnamon

Heat oven to 325.  While that’s warming, heat oil, sugar, and honey in saucepan over medium heat until sugar has just dissolved.  Then thoroughly coat oats, wheat germ, coconut flakes, and cinnamon with melted mixture.   (I used my hands for this.)  Spread in 2 greased, shallow pans.  Toast in oven for 10-15 minutes, stir, and then toast for another 10-15 minutes.  Remove and let cool before storing in air-tight container.  Serve with milk or yogurt and fruit. :)

What I’ve learned about granola is that you can do it up any way you like.  You just need some dry ingredients and some wet ones.  Once you figure out the proportions, really you can put in whatever you like.  Or whatever you happen to have in your pantry.   I like to add raisins and milk to mine because I’m a notorious cereal junkie.  But I think it would be particularly delicious over fresh peach or baked apples.
