Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Spray an 8x12-inch baking sheet with vegetable spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
2.
Spread the Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (2 cups) and Pecans (1 1/2 cups) in an even layer on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Set aside.
3.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
4.
In a small bowl, stir together the Ground Cinnamon (1 tsp), Ground Ginger (as needed), Ground Nutmeg (as needed), Ground Allspice (as needed), Ground Cloves (as needed), and Kosher Salt (as needed). Set aside.
5.
In a small saucepan over medium heat combine the Butter (3 Tbsp), Honey (1/2 cup) and Brown Sugar (4 Tbsp), stirring constantly until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) and the spice mixture and set aside.
6.
Transfer the oats and pecans to a large bowl. Add the Wheat Germ (1/2 cup), Pepitas (3/4 cup) and Golden Raisins (1 cup) and toss to combine. Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture and stir until well coated.
7.
Pour the granola mixture into the prepared pan and press evenly and firmly into the pan. Bake the granola for 25 to 30 minutes or until light golden brown.
8.
Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. This will take 2 to 3 hours.
9.
Remove from the pan and cut into bars or squares. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
