I like to make this at night so I can leave it in the oven overnight and wake up to perfect granola. You can add any add-ins you prefer to this versatile recipe. The oatmeal and sauce ingredients are the only things you need to measure precisely. The add-ins can be more or less according to your preference. This list is just what I did.

Serves: 24
Ingredients
  • 10 cups Old Fashioned Oats
  • 2 cups Almonds, chopped, slivered, sliced whatever you've got
  • 1½ cups shredded coconut
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds, I used salted
  • ¼ cup flax seed mill or wheat germ
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds or sesame seeds
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 cup oil
  • ½-3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine oats, and all other mix-ins (almonds, coconut, sunflower seeds, flax seed mill, chia seeds) and mix them until everything is distributed evenly.
  3. In a saucepan or in the microwave, gently heat the honey, oil, peanut butter, and salt until when stirred the peanut butter dissolves into the other ingredients. This step only takes a couple of minutes. Stir in the vanilla.
  4. Pour honey mixture over oats mixture and mix until well combined and everything is covered with honey mixture.
  5. Pour out onto a large cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 40 minutes stirring every 10-15 minutes.
  6. Turn oven down to 200 and cook for 50-60 more minutes. Stir well and then turn oven off.
  7. Leave granola in oven for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
  8. Store in an airtight Ziploc bag or container.
