Donaldson's Honey Cashew Granola

I love the sweet, but not too sweet, flavor of this granola. Since I made it, I haven't been able to stop eating it. It's great for a snack by itself, with milk or with yogurt. I made these little cups for a playdate last week and the kids seemed to like them. It's also very easy to throw together.


(recipe via Whitney Fredin)




6 cups rolled oats


1 cup shredded coconut


1 cup wheat germ


1/2 cup shelled sunflower seeds


3/4 cups cashew halves


1 t. cinnamon or nutmeg


1/2 cup cooking oil


1/2 cup honey


1/3 cup water


1 1/2 teaspoons salt


1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla


1 cup raisins




Combine oats, coconut, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, cashews and cinnamon in large bowl. Mix oil, honey, water, salt and vanilla. Pour over dry mixture; stir well to coat. Spread mixture evenly on 2 greased baking sheets. Bake at 325 for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Cool, add raisins. Store in airtight container. Makes 10 cups.
