Best granola ever

For Scott, since he says this recipe played a part in convincing him to marry me.

From a recipe from a friend of a friend. If you buy your ingredients right, you'll save a lot compared to buying granola at the store... not to mention it's quite healthy, and it's sooo good!

Dry ingredients (blend together first)

• 6 cups quick oats*
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 3/4 cup wheat germ
• 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds (maybe a little less if you're not that into them)
• 1/2 cup dry milk

Wet ingredients

• 2/3 cup oil
• 2/3 cup honey
• 2 Tablespoons water
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Optional (add after baking)

• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup pecans

Mix together dry ingredients evenly, then add wet ingredients (works best if mixed a little first). Grease two pans (or use parchment paper) and bake at 300* until golden brown, about 25 min. Stir as needed to avoid burning.  Let cool, then store and eat! (note: it will clump up a little as it cools).

*I just tried this using part old fashioned oats instead of only quick, and it was good. :)
