Granola

6 c. heaping rolled oats

1 c. coconut

1/4 c. sunflower seeds (optional)

1/3 c. sesame seeds (optional)

1/2 c. brown sugar

1 c. slivered almonds

1 . sliced almonds

dried fruit (optional)

Mix all ingredients together except for dried fruit. In a separate bowl, whisk together;

1/2 c. oil

1/3 c. honey

1 t. vanilla

1 t. almond extract

Pour evenly over mixture. Stir and coat thoroughly. Spread on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 20-25 min. About every five min. gently lift the outside edge with a pancake turner and fold into the middle, then smooth out the granola evenly in the pan. Watch this carefully! The cereal should be golden brown. Don't over bake, this stuff burns fast. So set your timer! Cool in cookie sheet and when cool store in an air tight container. Makes about 8 cups. I love to eat this with vanilla yogurt, and sliced strawberries. Or just as cereal for breakfast. Enjoy!
