Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 250 degrees.
  2. Mix together oats, oat bran, flax seed meal and chia seeds in a medium bowl.
  3. Mix together the wet ingredients (honey, oil, vanilla) in a small bowl.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together. Everything should get wet and sticky.
  5. Spread the granola mixture out onto a baker’s half sheet pan. Put pan into the oven.
  6. Stir granola mixture every 15 minutes, making sure to bring the mixture from the edges toward the middle and the mixture from the middle out toward the edges to ensure even baking.
  7. Once granola is as brown as you like, pull it out from the oven and let it cool.
  8. While it’s still warm, add raisins or dried fruit and let cool completely.
  9. Once cool, feel free to break up the chunks, if you like that texture. You can also leave the granola with chunks in it, as people often like it that way.
