I've been wanting to make some for a while & finally did this week. It turned out good! I like to have it with plain yogurt & this time was with blueberries & banana. Hopefully I can find someone to take some off my hands or I'll be eating this stuff forever! I basically used the recipe below but used regular oil & no orange flavoring since I didn't have any. Mine has walnuts. Also mine is minus the sesame seeds since I didn't have or buy any. The house smell so good while it's baking!
Cranberry Orange Granola
1 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 - 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp orange extract
8 ounces dried cranberries - orange flavored
5 cups rolled oats
3 cups bran cereal
2 cups chopped nuts ( walnuts, peanuts, pecans)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
3/4 cup sesame seeds
5 1/2 tsp powdered milk
3 tbsp orange peel (dried)
Combine dry ingredients (except for cranberries) in a large bowl and mix well. Combine wet ingredients (oil, honey, vanilla, etc) in a small bowl. Pour wet stuff slowly over the dry stuff and mix well.Spoon ingredients into a large cake pan and bake for approximately 60 minutes at 300° F, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from pan, return to bowl, and mix in the dried cranberries. Allow to cool. Keep in an airtight container. Refrigerated will last for a good long while.

























I love my homemade granola recipe but it calls for wheat germ, which can be very difficult to find here, so I'm keeping this one in case I need another one to go by!
