Topside Granola

Dry Ingredients:

9 cups old fashioned

oats

1 cup shredded

coconut

1 cup sunflower kernels

3 cup chopped nuts

(pecans, almonds, &

walnuts)

Wet Ingredients:

1½ cups canola oil

(or ½ cup applesauce

and ¾ cup canola oil to

reduce fat)

1½ cups honey

½ cup molasses

2 Tbsp. vanilla extract

Toppings:

1 cup dried

cranberries

1 cup raisins

½ cup dried cherries

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.

In a microwavable container mix wet ingredients. Cook in

microwave on high until hot but not boiling (5-7 minutes), and

stir. Pour over dry mixture and stir well, coating all of the dry with

wet ingredients. Pour mix into 2 large sheet pans (sprayed lightly

with oil) and spread evenly. Place pans into preheated oven for

15 min. Remove pans from oven and stir well. Repeat 3 more

times for a total of 4 baking sessions. The last two sessions may

need to be shorter to avoid burning. It should be dark & golden

brown. Cool on the pan, stirring periodically to avoid big lumps.

Stir in toppings. Can be stored in airtight container in the

refrigerator or frozen.
