Teton Basin Granola

Takes a little time to make but well worth the effort!


My cousin and her husband ran a fishing lodge in the Teton Basin of Idaho for many years.
This granola recipe was one of their guests favorites.
I could literally live on this stuff!

It is easy to make but takes time to slowly bake and dry each batch.

10 cups old fashioned oatmeal
1 cup wheat germ
1/2 lb. coconut
2 cups sunflower seeds
1 cup toasted sesame seeds (Opt.)
3 cups variety of nuts

Sauce:

1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup molases
1 1/2 tsp. salt.
2 tsp. cinnamon
3 tsp. vanilla

Bring to a boil then cool sauce. When totally cold, pour the sauce over the dry ingredients and stir well. Put a thin layer of wet cereal on a cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for about 25 minutes. This should be about 5 pans of cereal. The cereal should be almost dry to the touch.

After it is all baked, you can add dried fruit like rasins, crasins, etc.
I store part in the refrigerator to use and the rest in the freezer.

Enjoy!
