I found this in a recipe book I was giving away and I want to try this:
Basic Granola
8 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup powdered milk
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups water
1 cup healthy oil (almond, sesame, coconut, olive)
1 1/2 cups honey
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups old fashioned peanut butter
3 tblsp vanilla extract
4 cups raisins
Preheat oven to 210 degrees. In a large roasting pan, mix the dry ingredients. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, oil, honey, brown sugar, and peanut butter, stirring until peanut butter is dissolved and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and mix well, being sure all ingredients are thoroughly coated.
Slow roast granola for 4 hours or until it has turned golden brown, stirring every half hour or so to ensure even roasting. Remove from oven and mix in raisins. Allow granola to cool, then store in airtight container for as long as 3 months
will store in refrigerator or freezer longer.
