Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Rolled oats | 6 cups |
| Sesame seeds | 1 cup |
| Sunflower seeds | 1 cup |
| Wheat germ | 1/2 cup |
| Honey | 1/2 cup |
| Vanilla extract | 1 1/2 tsp |
| Ground cinnamon | 1 tsp |
| Shredded coconut | 1/2 cup |
| Dry fruit | 2 cups |

Instructions:
-
Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and wheat germ. Stir until well mixed.
-
Prepare honey mixture: In a small saucepan, heat together the honey and oil over low heat until the honey is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.
-
Mix wet and dry ingredients: Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure that all the dry ingredients are coated evenly with the honey mixture.
-
Toast the granola: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the mixture evenly onto lined baking sheets, ensuring it’s not too thick. Toast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, stirring twice during baking to ensure even toasting.
-
Add final touches: Once the granola is golden brown and toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then, mix in the shredded coconut, dry fruit, and nuts.
-
Storage: Once completely cooled, store the granola in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and crunchiness.
