Mix Granola Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, wheat germ, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, sliced almonds, dry milk, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
In a small bowl or measuring glass, combine the honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix to incorporate the liquids.
Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture. Using a long-handled wooden spoon or your hands, mix well until thoroughly combined.
Bake Granola
Spoon granola onto two baking sheets that have been sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring twice and alternating pans on oven racks.
Allow to cool in pans. When the granola has cooled, mix in the dried fruit. Store in covered container up to one month. Makes 12 cups.
