Granola

12 cups oatmeal
1 1/2 cups wheat germ
8 oz bag sliced or slivered almonds
8 oz bag pecan pieces
1 1/3 cups honey plus enough molasses to equal 1 1/2 cups
1 1/3 cups extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup milk
1 TBSP vanilla

Combine oatmeal, wheat germ, almonds, and pecans in a large bowl.  Combine honey, oil, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl, then mix together with the dry ingredients until thoroughly coated.

Preheat oven to 300˚.  Put oatmeal mixture into 2 lightly greased 9x13 pans, and bake on the top rack for 30 minutes.  Stir every ten minutes.  Remove from oven when lightly toasted and stir.  Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

This also works in the crockpot.  See Crock-Pot Granola.

I'm going to try this to go with all the crock-pot yogurt we've been making (thanks to your blog!). Glad you're sharing your recipes!
