New granola recipe

Granola, plain
8 cups oats (old fashioned, rolled)
8 oz. coconut, optional
1-1/2 cups wheat germ or wheat bran
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups nuts, chopped (pecans, almonds, etc.)
½ cup sunflower seeds
2 Tb. sesame seeds, optional
½ cup water
½ cup oil
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla, optional
Mix dry ingredients in large bowl. Combine the water, oil, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla in another bowl or measuring cup. I use a glass 2-cup measuring cup. Heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until warm and easily mixed together. Pour liquid over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well mixed. Spread granola on two greased baking sheets. Bake for 45 minutes at 250°. Stir and switch location of baking sheets. Bake for an additional 45 minutes (1-1/2 hours total). Add dried fruit or other items as desired. This makes a chunky, nice granola.
