Jack's Homemade Granola

It all started 5 years ago after we'd been to BC to visit family and a box of granola was among the breakfast cereals. Jack took a liking to it and continued to buy it when we returned home, but then decided he could do better. He found several recipes on the net and experimented with different combinations of ingredients until he found the one he liked.

Several guests have suggested he package it and sell it, but that's not going to happen.

Preheat oven to 350°F

In ungreased baking pan, mix
3 cups old-fashioned oats
½ cup chopped almonds
1 cup shredded coconut
½ cup oat bran
2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons malt (Horlick’s)

Combine in pot and melt
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/3 cup apple juice concentrate
1 teaspoon vanilla
few drops of almond extract

Pour over dry ingredients and stir.
Bake 27 minutes, stirring every 9 minutes
Remove, let cool, and add 1/3 cup raisins.
Stir in final tablespoon malt (to prevent sticking)
Store tightly.

Enjoy.
