A friend of mine made some amazing granola that I tried when I visited her. I ate it constantly when I was pregnant and needed some extra calories. (I should make another batch today since I am still consuming an amazing amount of calories feeding 2 babies!)
Kayla's Granola
4 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1 cup raspberries (mashed--I used frozen ones)
1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/4 cups honey, or to taste
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, wheat germ, walnuts, almonds, and raspberries. In a separate bowl, mix together the oil, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon. Drizzle over dry ingredients, and stir to coat evenly. Spread mixture out in a thin layer on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring every 10 minutes to toast evenly. (It is best to use a cookie sheet with edges so you don't make a mess when you need to stir it.) Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Granola will become crunchier as it cools.
