Ingredients

¾ cup vegetable oil

½ cup honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup brown sugar

2 tsp nutmeg

2 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp allspice

½ tsp salt

5 cups old fashioned oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

3 cups mixed nuts, seeds, berries, and flax

½ cup chia seeds (optional)

½ cup ground flax seed meal (optional)

Instructions

Preheat Oven to 325

Add all Wet ingredients and all Spice ingredients to a small saucepan and heat over low heat. This usually takes me about 3-5 minutes. The mixture should warm-up and not become very hot.

Add Oats to a Large bowl

Add the flour on top of the oats and mix well to coat the oats with flour

Add dried fruit and nuts mix to the bowl.

Pour liquid ingredients on top of the dry ingredients and mix together thoroughly.

Parchment line 2 baking sheets. Put half of the granola mixture on each sheet. The goal is to have the granola packed in tightly AND not taller than 1/2 an inch.

Bake for 25 min at 325 Degrees or until the top of your granola is golden or the raisins (if you used them) get plump. If you need to add more time to your baking check the granola every 5 minutes.

Remove parchment from the baking sheet and place it on a cooling rack and allow it to cool for 15-20 min. Then break granola into large chunks.

Return the cooled granola to a foil-lined greased baking sheet. Drizzle the granola with 1/2 cup of honey and bake for 10 minutes at 325 degrees. It's important to note that the granola will be soft after baking until its completely cooled. Resist the desire to bake it until its crispy.
