I LOVE homemade granola! This has been my hand’s down favorite recipe. We make this every other month (kept in an airtight container) it is perfect! I make half the batch with dark chocolate and half without (hubby is allergic). It does make a lot of granola I promise, it won’t last long Perfect for yogurt parfaits for breakfast. Top ice cream for dessert or just eat a handful when you need a snack. This is also a wonderful gift idea for friends or during the holidays. Totally addictive!

8 c of rolled oats
1.5 c of wheat germ

In a separate bowl (or you can use your sauce pan) combine the maple syrup, honey, oil, cinnamon and vanilla. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Whisk until completely blended. Then remove from the heat and pour over dry mixture. Mix well and then spread on 2 baking sheets. Make sure you have one layer in each pan. You can bake additional cookie sheets as needed.
Bake until crispy and toasted brown. 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cool and then add your mix-ins. Chocolate, dried fruit etc. Store in an airtight container or ziploc baggie.
