👨‍🍳 Cooking with Chris

Ingredients

• 2 & 1/2 cup old-fashioned raw oats
• 1/2 cup brown, unhulled, sesame seeds
• 1/2 cup pine nuts
• 1/2 cup almonds, chopped
• 1 & 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1/2 cup canola or soybean oil
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon cloves
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup yellow (or black) raisins

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Mix oats, seeds, and nuts in a large bowl.
3. Combine remaining ingredients, except for raisins, mix, and heat for 1-2 minutes in microwave, or until the honey is hot & watery; mix well until salt is completely dissolved. Toss liquid mixture with dry ingredients.
4. Spray two cookie sheets or large pans with Pam or a canola oil spray (optional). Spread granola and bake at 325 degrees about 25 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes, until golden brown. It is done when a walnut piece tastes nicely toasted. Add raisins, and toss occasionally until cool and dry.
