Home Made Crunchy Granola


3 cups slow-cooking oats (420 gm)
1/4 cup shelled sunflower seeds (50gm)
1/2 cup raw bran (70gm)
1/2 cup chopped raw, unsalted nuts such as almonds (40gm)
1/2 cup wheat germ (70gm)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (70gm)
1/4 cup sesame seeds (50gm)
1/4 cup non-instant milk powder (12 gm)
2 tbsp milk (30ml)
1/2 cup honey (125ml)
2 tbsp oil (30ml)
1 tsp real vanilla extract (5ml)
1/2 cup raisins (125 gm)



Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
Combine dry ingredients except raisins. Liquify the honey if necessary and add the oil, liquid milk and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and mix until well combined.
Spread the mixture on a greased cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent burning. Remove from the oven and add the raisins, then continue to bake for approximately an additional 10 minutes until lightly browned.
After cooling, store in an airtight container. Serve with milk and sliced fruit, and maybe some yogurt for a truly nutritious breakfast.
