Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 4 cups quick oats (Irish oats)
  • 1/2 cup wheat germ
  • 1/2 cup coconut, flaked
  • 2 cups pecans (and walnuts and almonds and whatever nuts you like)
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup oil (canola oil with extra available if desired after mixing before baking)
  • 1/2 cup cold water (with extra available if desired after mixing before baking)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In large bowl mix oats, wheat germ, coconut, brown sugar and nuts.

  • Step 2: In a small bowl mix 1/2 cup oil, 1/2 cup water, vanilla, salt until thoroughly combined.

  • Step 3: Pour liquids from small bowl slowly into the large bowl and combine thoroughly (your hands work best for this step if you don't mind getting dirty)

  • Step 4: Then add the whole wheat flour slowly, combining a little at a time.

  • Step 5: At this step, it depends on your desire for really chunky granola or smaller granola to eat as a cereal. If you want smaller granola, skip this step. If you like chunky granola, add a teaspoon of canola oil and a teaspoon of water until it starts to bind into chunks. Keep adding equal amounts oil and water until granola reaches your desired chunkiness.

  • Step 6: Spread granola onto lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake at 325 for 45 minutes or so, stirring halfway through cooking time, until desired toasted color.
