Granola

Recipe submitted by Joanne H.
(also published in the ward cookbook)
8 cups regular rolled oats
6 cups rolled wheat (can substitute rolled oats)
2-3 cups coconut
2 cups untoasted wheat germ (can substitute with instant Ralston or wheat flour)
2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 cup oil
1 cup water
3 tsp vanilla
1 lb raisins (optional)

Combine ingredients down to and including salt. Mix thoroughly. In a pan on the stove, mix remaining ingredients, excluding raisins. Pour over dry ingredients. Stir until grains are coated and separated. Bake at 225 degrees for 2 hours, 15 minutes. Stir about every 1/2 hour. Cook longer if you want it crunchier. Stir in raisins after baking and store in tight container.

*Joanne made this recipe into granola bars by combining the granola with melted marshmallows the way you would make Rice Krispies treats.
