Description

A traditional granola

Ingredients

  • 2 c rolled oats
  • 2 c bob's red mill 5-grain cereal (rolled mixed grains)
  • 1⁄3 c toasted wheat germ
  • 1 T cinnamon
  • 2 c coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1⁄4 c honey or real maple syrup (not 'pancake' syrup)
  • 1⁄4 c vegetable oil
  • 1⁄4 c water
  • 2 t vanilla

Instructions

At Home:While oven is preheating to 225, Combine dry ingredients to one bowl and wet ingredients to another. When two bowls are blened evenly add liquid mixture to grains mixture and toss to coat evenly. Spray 2 jelly roll pans with cooking spray, and spread mixture evenly in a thin layer on the pans. Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until starting to brown lightly. Cool in pans, then store in heavy plastic bags in cool, dry place. Granola will get crisp when it cools.

In the field:
Take about 3/4 cup of granola in a quart bag, add some dried fruit and 1/3 cup of powdered milk. Add 1 cup cold water in camp and eat from the bag.

Notes

You can increase the calorie content by adding more oil (up to 1 cup) and more sweetener -- this is not a very sweet granola.
