Making your own granola ensures that you have a breakfast cereal just the way you like it. You can use ingredients you trust and it’s more economical than buying granola at the store. Featured in Laing House Community Kitchen June 3, 2006. (modified from Suzie Restino's and Sam Brooks's Granola)

Ingredients:
8 cups rolled oats
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup chopped nuts (any mix of walnuts, almonds, filberts, pecans, cashews)
½ - 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
½ cup raw sesame seeds (optional)
½ cup raw pumpkin seeds (optional)
¼ cup safflower oil
¾ cup maple syrup or honey (or more to taste)
1-2 cups dried fruit (raisins, chopped apricots, prunes, currants)

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine and mix the oats, seeds, nuts, and coconut
Mix in a measuring cup the oil and maple syrup/honey
Pour the liquid into the oat mixture and mix with a spoon or your hands (if you like that sort of thing). Spoon the mixture onto cookie sheets and bake at 350 F. Stir it every 10 minutes (or earlier depending on your oven) until it begins to brown. Remove and cool, then the dried fruit
Once it’s completely cool, store in a sealed container in a cool place.
Serve as cereal, in a bowl with milk or yoghurt, or eat as a snack out of your hand.
