Granola

6 cups oats (regular not quick)
3/4 cup wheat germ
1 cup coconut
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 t. almond extract (I leave this out)
2 T. vanilla (yes, that's 2 tablespoons!)
1 cup brazil nuts (I use half slivered almonds, half cashews)
1 cup vegetable oil (I use canola)
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup honey
1/4 cup flax seeds

Combine the honey, oil, almond extract and vanilla together. Combine all the other ingredients in a large bowl. Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well. Pour out onto a jelly roll pan that is sprayed with Pam or I use parchment paper. Spread evenly.
Bake at 300 for about 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes. Take it out when it is golden brown and crunchy.

I made it once and I burned the pecans (they burn easy) So be careful. It still tasted really good. I'm trying another batch today (by request from Mike). We love it.
