Ingredients
6 cups rolled oats
½ cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup pecans, chopped
½ cup sesame seeds
¾ cup sunflower seeds, raw
1 cup dried coconut
½ cup date, dried
½ cup raisins, can use dried cranberries
½ cup light oil
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup honey
½ cup maple syrup
¼ cup molasses
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a separate pan, roast the oats, walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds until they are lightly toasted. Let them cool afterwards.
In a large bowl, combine all the toasted ingredients with the coconut, date, and raisins. Set the bowl aside.
Combine the oil, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, molasses, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan. Stir them over low heat until they are well-combined and warm to touch.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl and mix well.
Scoop the overall mixture onto a greased cookie sheet pan, flatten it, then roast it in the oven for about 20 minutes, stirring every five minutes.
Remove the granola from the oven, then store it in tightly sealed containers in a cool and dry place.
