This past week we were gifted SOOOOO many bulk ingredients from our new lifelong friend and baker supreme, Alexis.  Among the hundreds of ingredients were quick oats, honey, cinnamon, chopped nuts, flake coconut and a nice 50/50 blend of sunflower and grapeseed oil.  So I guess it’s granola time!  This recipe is simple and keeps well for a very long time in an airtight container. 

Thanks, Alexis!!!!  All of your gifts are truly appreciated!

HONEY NUT GRANOLA

42 oz container of oats (quick or rolled is fine)
4 cups chopped and/or slivered and/or sliced nuts (I like the blend of almond an pecan but whatever will do)
3 cups toasted coconut
1 1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups honey
¼ Teaspoon kosher salt
2 Tablespoons vanilla extract
¼ cup ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 275 degrees.  In a very large bowl combine oats, nuts and coconut.  Set aside.  In a medium sized bowl. Combine all remaining ingredients and wish until dark, thick and smooth.

Combine wet and dry ingredients until everything is well coated.

Makes a delicious breakfast cereal, addition to your yogurt or as a quick snack.

Eat Well!
