Granola

6 cups oats
2/3 c. wheat germ
2/3 c. shredded coconut (optional--I hate shredded coconut!)
2/3 c. sesame seeds
2/3 c. chopped nuts (also optional--I guess I like boring granola!)
2/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Place the oats in a microwave safe dish and microwave 4 minutes (or 15 min. in a 350* oven)
Add the above ingredients to the oats. Blend together and add to the oat mixture:

2/3 c. oil or melted butter
1/2 c. honey
2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. banana flavoring
1/4 tsp. black walnut flavoring
1/2 tsp. coconut flavoring

Cook on high power for at least 4 minures, stirring after two minutes (or bake at 350* for 15-20 min., stirring often to keep it from burning). Mixture should be nicely browned.

Add:
1 c. dried fruit (raisins, etc.)

Store in airtight container at room temperature.
