Best Homemade Granola




7 cups rolled oats
2 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour (ground)
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1 cup sunflower seeds
2 c. dried fruit (i use cranberries) you can mix it up with more than one kind
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup almonds (or whatever nuts you like)
1 cup non-fat dry milk

In blender mix

1 cup oil
1 T. salt
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 t. vanilla
1 1/2 t. maple syrup

Add slowly to dry ingredients while mixing, mix thoroughly. Divide between 3 cookie sheets. I like to make mine in "big clusters".
( I use a bosch blender and mixer with cookie attachment.)

Bake at 250* for 45 minutes, stirring 3 times (every 15 min.) Mixture is still soft and moist when removed from oven. Cool. When dry and crisp, place in airtight container.
