Granola and Granola Bars

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Into a large casserole dish, mix:

·         5 cups rolled oats

·         1 cup unsweetened coconut

·         1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds

·         1/2 cup raw slivered almonds

·         1/4 cup flax seeds

Roast in oven for 20 minutes (or until coconut is browned)

Melt:

·         1/2 cup butter

·         1/3 cup honey

·         1/4 cup molasses or maple

1.       Once this is melted, remove from heat and add 3 teaspoons vanilla

2.       Mix sauce into oats mixture.

3.       Turn the oven down to 300, and bake for another 20 or so minutes (until crispy/crunchy).

4.       You will need to stir it every once in a while.

5.       When you take it out of the oven, you have to let it sit for quite a while for it to cool; it will then be crunchy.
