Servings: persons

7 cups oats
1 cup blanched slivered almond
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
2 cups coconut
1 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
1 cup banana chips, broken into manageable sizes
1 cup wheat germ
¾ cup canola oil
1 ⅛ cups honey
1 cup raisins
1 cup dried cranberries

1
Stir together oats, nuts, coconut, seeds, banana chips, and wheat germ in a large bowl.
2
In a separate small bowl, mix the raisins and cranberries and set aside.
3
Combine oil and honey in a microwaveable bowl and microwave on high for about 2 and a half minutes.
4
Immediately pour over oats mixture, stirring as you go.
5
(Oil and honey won't be completely blended but that's OK.).
6
Stir to coat dry ingredients.
7
Divide mixture and spread on two ungreased cookie sheets.
8
Bake one pan at a time for 20 minutes in a preheated 325 degree oven on the center rack.
9
Immediately after removing from oven, stir half of the raisin mixture into each pan.
10
Be sure to release the granola from the cookie sheet or it will stick as it cools.
11
Let cool, then store in an airtight container.
12
I store this at room temperature in two big canisters.
13
It's always gone within a couple of weeks and I've never had it become stale.

I'm not sure about the number of servings, but just gave it my best guess.

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
