1/2 cup (125 mL) shelled sunflower seeds
3/4 cup (175 mL) sweetened flaked coconut
1/4 cup (50 mL) wheat germ
1/4 cup (50 mL) ground flaxseed
1 cup (250 mL) chopped or sliced almonds, walnuts or pecans
4 cups (1 L) large-flake old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup (125 mL) corn syrup
2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil or vegetable oil
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
1 tsp (5 mL) almond extract or coconut extract
2 cups (500 mL) crisp rice or round oat cereal
1/2 cup (125 mL) raisins or other dried fruit, chopped

1
In a large bowl, mix the sunflower seeds, coconut, wheat germ, ground flaxseed, nuts and oats.
2
In a small bowl, combine corn syrup, oil, vanilla and almond or coconut extract.
3
Add the syrup mixture to the dry ingredients.
4
Make sure any wet lumps are well blended in.
5
Place granola in a large casserole dish and bake on middle rack at 350F (180C) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until slightly toasted.
6
During baking, remove the pan from the oven every 10 minutes and stir, so that the granola cooks evenly.
