This is a fruit filled, quick granola. Makes around 12 cups. Simmer the apple juice, brown sugar, spices, and salt for 3 to 5 minutes until the sugar melts. Pour it over the oats and stir well. Spread on cookie sheets covered with parchment paper. Cook 10 minutes at 350 degrees F, stir, then shut off the oven, leaving the pans in the oven until the oven is cool. When it is cool, just pick up the parchment paper and make a funnel out of it to pour your granola into your containers for storage. It makes a pretty gift, wrapped in clear bags tied with a ribbon. Include the recipe, because you will be asked for it.

Combine it all well breaking up clumps then place on large cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees till golden brown. Use a spatula a few times and scootch it around now and then. Can add raisins or dried fruit when done. Store in air tight container when cool. Great for breakfast with milk as a cereal or can use in a granola bar recipe.

In large bowl, combine oats, flour, cereal, coconut, and raisins. In saucepan, bring oil and honey to a boil. Stir constantly for 1 minute. Add vanilla. Pour honey mixture over cereal mixture and stir well. It seems to work best if you pour half of honey mixture over and stir. Repeat. This makes a delicious and wholesome breakfast cereal.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine oats, almonds, and wheat germ in large bowl; set aside. Combine oil and orange peel in small bowl. Pour over oats mixture, tossing to coat.

In a large bowl, combine the oats, wheat germ and hazelnuts. In a small saucepan, stir together the honey, orange peel, orange juice and cinnamon. Heat just until boiling and then remove from heat. Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture and toss gently until it is coated.
Next, coat a 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the oat mixture evenly in the pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Stir the coconut into the oat mixture and bake for 15 minutes more or until lightly browned stirring once. Remove from the oven and immediately turn the granola out onto a large piece of foil to cool. Transfer the granola to a container and store for up to two weeks at room temperature or up to 3 months in the freezer.
To serve frozen Orange Breakfast Granola, thaw at room temperature. Serve the granola in bowls and if desired, serve with fruit or yogurt.
Orange Breakfast Granola yields about ten 1/2 cup servings.
Heat oats in greased pan in 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes. Combine the first six ingredients. Add the remaining ingredients. Mix until the dry ingredients are coated. Divide into two parts in 9x13 inch pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. Stir often. Cool and store in tight container. Use as snack or as cereal.

Mix well. Spread on cookie sheets and bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees F. Very good for breakfast with milk on it.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix oats, spices, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar. In a smaller bowl, mix oil, molasses, salt, and vanilla. Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until thoroughly mixed (you might want to use your hands to make sure everything gets worked in).
Spread mixture on ungreased baking sheets and bake 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring with a fork every 20 minutes to ensure even browning of the granola. Remove from oven and mix in dried fruits. Cool and store at room temperature in airtight containers. Keeps for at least two weeks. I always eat it all by then :)

Does anyone have a recipe for granola?
By Ashley (Guest Post)08/01/2007This recipe my friend gave to me several years ago and it is the only one I make now. It is very good!:) Also, real easy and makes a lot. Enjoy!:)
Granola
3 c. rolled oats
1 c. slivered almonds
1 c. cashews
3/4 c. shredded sweet coconut
1/4 c. plus 2 T. dark brown sugar
1/4 c. plus 2 T. maple syrup
1/4 c. veggie oil
3/4 tsp. salt
1 c. your choice: raisins, dried blueberries, dried cranberries, ect.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. In large bowl, combine oats, nuts, coconut, and brown sugar. In another bowl, combine maple syrup, oil and salt. Combine together and stir. Pour onto 2 large sheet pans. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in raisins or other dried fruit and mix until evenly distributed. Store in air tight container. Good as a breakfast cereal or as a snack!
In my home a container of oatmeal is used for more than making a bowl of porridge. A portion of it makes granola, which is a good tasting, anytime, inexpensive, and healthy food to make.
Just make a syrup using about 1 1/4 cups canola oil, 1/3 cup maple syrup, and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla. Mix and pour over a dry mixture of 2 cups instant or old fashioned oats and a 1/2 cup of chopped nuts. Mix all well, place on a baking sheet to bake for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees, allow to cool and add raisins or apricots. Enjoy!
Frugal Tip: I recycle my finished raisin bran bag by tapping out any crumbs left behind and reuse to store my granola which finishes quickly.

You're eating almost as much non-beneficial oil as you are eating oats! You wouldn't eat french fries or fried chicken that absorbed OVER half their weight in oil and call that healthy.
Is the recipe correct as posted? (08/11/2008)
