In honor of earth month, this HUMAN recipe was given to our pastry chef by an Alaskan Fisherman and is full of natural energy. Goes great with yogurt or toss in some chocolate pieces to make a yummy and satisfying mid-afternoon snack.
4 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup flaxseed
5 oz shredded coconut
1/4 cup + 1/8 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup + 1/8 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325F degrees. Mis all dry ingredients together. Add oil, honey, and vanilla extract and mix well to try and coat dry ingredients. Place mix into a lightly buttered 9X13inch baking dish and spread the mix out so that it creates a shallow layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring often, until oats appear dry.
Granola can be stored in plastic zip-lock bags for up to one week in humid climates an up to two weeks in dry climates.
