Honey Granola

Honey Granola
10 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup dry milk*
1/2 cup flax seed or wheat germ
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 cup honey
2 cup raisins, Craisins, or other dried fruit

Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add oil, honey, and vanilla and mix with beaters or your fingers until moist ingredients are incorporated.
Divide 1/2 the mixture into 2 9x13 in. pans. Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven, stir and bake 5 minutes more.
Granola will crisp as it cools. Allow to cool completely and add dried fruit.
*I like to add dry milk for extra protein. It gives the granola a creamy-type flavor. If you are trying to avoid dairy, simply leave this ingredient out or substitute with oat, rice or soy flour. I love this granola served with Rice Milk!
