Ingredients

4 cups quick cooking (not instant) rolled oats

2 cups natural wheat bran

1 1/2 cups chopped California walnuts

1/2 cups liquid honey

2 tsps vanilla

1 1/2 cups raisins (or dried cranberries, chopped dried apples, apricots or other mixed dried fruit)

Fresh fruit for garnish, as desired

Directions

Preheat oven to 300°F
In a large bowl, stir together rolled oats, bran and walnuts.
In a small microwaveable bowl, combine honey and vanilla; microwave on high for about 20 seconds or more until runny. Stir to mix; pour over dry ingredients and toss to coat well.
Spread granola evenly in a large shallow baking pan and bake in 300°F oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden, stirring two or three times.
Cool completely; granola will crisp as it cools.
Stir in raisins or other dried fruit; store in airtight container. Serves 8.
