Freezer Granola Recipe (Freezer Meals 101 - Sharla)

 

In a very large bowl, mix together:

12 cups of rolled oats
2 cups of slivered almonds
2 cups of untoasted sesame seeds
2 cups of raw hulled sunflower seeds
2 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup of dried cranberries
1 1/2 Tbsp. cinnamon

In a medium saucepan, stir together:

2 cups of vegetable oil
2 cups of honey
2/3 cup water
2 Tbsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt

Stir over medium heat until the sauce starts to boil. Pour the sauce over the mixture of oats and stir everything together. Put the granola into freezer bags, remove the air, seal, and freeze.

To bake the granola, preheat the oven to 275°. Lay the granola, still frozen out flat on a baking sheet. If you like chunks in your granola, then leave it a bit chunkier. Bake, stirring once in a while for 45 minutes to an hour depending on the level of crunchiness you want. Cool the granola and store it in an airtight container.
