<\/a><\/p>\nSome consider granola too high in calories and fat to be used as an even-day breakfast cereal, though it’s delicious that way. We also love to use it as a topping for fruit and yogurt. Pack some of this granola into an attractive glass jar: It makes a great hostess gift.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
6 cups old-fashioned oats<\/p>\n
1 cup wheat germ<\/p>\n
1 cup skim milk powder<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup sliced almonds<\/p>\n

3\/4 cup golden raisins<\/p>\n
3\/4 cup dark raisins<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup dried cherries<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup dried cranberries<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Preheat oven to 325\u00c2\u00b0F. In a large bowl, toss together the oats, wheat germ, milk powder, nuts, sunflower and sesame seeds, and cinnamon. In a heavy saucepan, heat the honey and oil until hot but not boiling. Remove pan from heat: stir in vanilla. Pour the honey-oil mixture over the oats mixture and toss to coat thoroughly.
