Homemade Granola Crunch

Ingredients (use vegan versions): 6 cups rolled oats ( I use multi-grain) 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1 - 2 cups chopped nuts ( I like almonds & walnuts) 1/2 cup wheat germ 1/3 cup flax seeds ( whole or ground) 1/4 cup vegan maple syrup 1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup turbinado vegan sugar 3 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 - 2 cups water 2 cups dried mixed fruit bits of your choice Directions: 1. Mix all ingredients EXCEPT the fruit bits. 2. For granola without chunks, move to step 4. 3. For granola with chunks, Slowly stir in pot over low- medium heat until ingredients become sticky and form clumps (it will be somewhat hard to stir). If you need to add more water, do so. 4. Dump mixture onto 2 large jelly-roll pans, spread evenly. 5. Bake at 300 F for 1 - 1 1/2 hours (less time is needed for the granola with no chunks), stirring every 15-20 minutes. Granola will be a golden brown when it is ready. 6. Cool granola by spreading it out on flattened paper grocery bags. 7. Add dried fruit bits. Store in an air tight container--it will last several weeks, though ours is always eaten by then. Serves: 6-10 cups Preparation time: 2 hrs more Free recipe and All Free recipe
