Ingredients

• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup chopped almonds
• 4 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1 ½ cups wheat germ
• 1 ¼ cups honey, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, stir together the oats, wheat germ, walnuts, almonds, and dried cranberries. In a separate bowl, mix together the oil, honey, vanilla and cinnamon. Drizzle over the dry ingredients, and stir to coat evenly. Spread the mixture out in a thin layer on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Step 3

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring every 10 minutes to toast evenly. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Granola will become crunchier as it cools.
