Awesome Granola

Marilyn was kind enough to give me some of her Awesome Granola (along with the recipe), and I love it! I want to make more, but where would I buy buckwheat honey?

2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup wheat-bran cereal
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/3 cup blanched whole or slivered almonds
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1/4 cup buckwheat honey
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup seedless raisins
13/ cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Combine oats, bran, wheat germ, almonds, and cinnamon in a bowl. Heat the honey and oil in a saucepan until small bubbles appear around the sides of the pan. Pour over dry mixture and toss until well combined. Spread evenly in a foil-lined shallow baking pan. Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring every 10 minutes. Add raisins and cranberries. Cool and store in an airtight container. Makes about five cups.

  1. I just use regular honey, and only bake about 25 minutes, or until as just brown. Nothing worse than burnt granola!
