Granola

2 1/2 cups oats
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans (or whatever kind of nuts you prefer)
1 tsp cinnamon
3 Tbsp flax seed
1/4 cup unprocessed bran or wheat germ
1/4 cup melted butter
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 325. Combine all dry ingredients. Then combine all wet ingredients and add to dry ingredients. Mix well. Bake in lightly greased 9x13 pan for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you want to ruin it by adding raisins, craisins or some other dried fruit, this would be the time to add it. Spread mixture onto ungreased cookie sheet to cool. Crumble up cooled granola and store in refrigerator in airtight container. Makes about 6 cups. Delicious over strawberry yogurt.
