My Granola

(with a nod to "Diet for a Small Planet")

6 cups rolled oats
2 cups rolled wheat, rye, barley, triticale (or more oats)
Spread in flat baking dish, heat oven to 375, and toast till fragrant and starting to brown (15 or 20 minutes).

Measure into bowl
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup ground sesame seeds
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup hemp hearts
1/2 cup flax seed meal
1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup walnut pieces
2 tbs nutritional yeast
Add to toasted grain, mix thoroughly, and toast for 8 minutes.

Combine
1/2 cup safflower oil
1/2 cup local honey
2 tbs vanilla extract
Pour slowly and evenly over other ingredients, mix thoroughly, and toast for 8 more minutes.

Let cool. Store in loosely covered jars. Enjoy with milk, fruit (bananas and raisins, or berries in season), and plain yogurt (Straus's organic if available).
