Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C), allowing it to reach the perfect temperature for baking.
-
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a very large bowl, combine the rolled oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, and dry milk (if using). Stir the mixture well to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir these ingredients together until well mixed.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure that all the dry ingredients are well coated with the honey and oil blend.
-
Divide and Bake: Divide the granola mixture evenly into two ungreased 13×9-inch baking pans. Spread the mixture out evenly to ensure uniform baking.
-
Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown. Stir the mixture frequently during baking to promote even browning and prevent burning.
-
Cool and Add Raisins: Once baked, remove the pans from the oven and let the granola cool slightly. After cooling, stir the granola to break it into small pieces. Gently mix in the raisins, allowing their sweetness to complement the crunchy granola.
-
Store: Once completely cooled, store your honey granola in a tightly covered container. It can be kept at room temperature for up to one month, or refrigerated for longer storage, ensuring that you can enjoy it anytime you desire.
