Anybody here make homemade granola?

[malta blue]

I am a junkie for the Bear Naked granola but at $5 for a 12 oz. bag, it is quite an expensive habit. Also, I am trying to get the little one to eat it too, and she likes the chocolate version of the Bear Naked - again $5 a bag.

Does anyone have any recipes to share?

4. An oldie, but goodie recipe

I have made this since 1973 :-).

6 c. rolled oats
1 c. sesame seeds
1 c. sunflower seeds
1 c. powdered milk
1 c. wheat germ
1 c. raisins (or dried cranberries, or other dried fruit)
1 c. vegetable oil
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. honey

Mix all the ingredients together in the largest bowl you have. Spread out on baking sheets and bake in a 250 F. oven until crisp. Stir occasionally.

Cool and transfer to an airtight container.

You can vary the amounts and the ingredients. It all turns out good :-).

If you use the powdered milk, you can just put water in the bowl with the granola. I have taken this backpacking many, many times.

my recipe has drifted from that but that is what I started with. Go with that and adjust to taste.
