Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275º.
• Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine brown sugar and water in a 4-cup microwave proof glass measuring cup or bowl.
• Place in microwave on high for 5 minutes and cook until sugar is completely dissolved.
• Remove from microwave, add vanilla and salt.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, nuts, wheat bran, oat bran, wheat germ, coconut, sunflower seeds, and brown sugar syrup mixture.
• Stir until thoroughly mixed.
• Spread the granola onto cookie sheets and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until golden and crunchy.
• Stir every fifteen minutes.
• (I use a very large stainless steel bowl instead of a cookie sheet) After baking you may add raisins, dates, or any other dried fruit.
• Yield 14 cups (before adding fruit).

Steps:

• Mix oats, sesame seeds, wheat germ and nuts in a good sized bowl.
• In another bowl or large measuring cup,measure oil, add honey, mix and pour over oat mixture.
• Stir well to blend and coat granola.
• Spread out evenly on cookie sheet or in baking pan.
• Bake at 250 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown.
• Stir every 15 during baking to prevent scorching.
• Be careful not to over brown.
• Stir in dry fruits while mixture is still warm.
• Let cool and store in airtight container.

Steps:

• Butter a 9 by 9-inch glass baking dish and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread the oats, sunflower seeds, almonds, and wheat germ onto a half-sheet pan. Place in the oven and toast for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• In the meantime, combine the honey, brown sugar, butter, extract and salt in a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook until the brown sugar has completely dissolved.
• Once the oat mixture is done, remove it from the oven and reduce the heat to 300 degrees F. Immediately add the oat mixture to the liquid mixture, add the dried fruit, and stir to combine. Turn mixture out into the prepared baking dish and press down, evenly distributing the mixture in the dish and place in the oven to bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
