Serves: 10
Total Calories: 107

1 1/4 cups oatmeal (regular or quick, not instant)
1/3 cup walnuts or unsalted peanuts, chopped
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/3 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cup coconut, shredded (unsweetened if available)
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground

This is much better for you than the commercial granolas. Try a ¼-cup serving sprinkled over other cereal or stirred into berry yogurt for extra flavor and nutrition. If you can't find unsweetened coconut, use sweetened.

1. Place the oatmeal and nuts in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly for about 5 minutes.
2. Add the wheat germ, sesame seeds, and coconut. Stir occasionally for another 10 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
4. Add the raisins and cinnamon and stir. Store in an airtight container.
