[edit] Directions
1 * note: more water makes the granola chunkier, less makes it crumbly.
2 Preheat oven to 350°F.
3 In a large bowl or pot, combine Oats, nuts, seeds, millet, flour, and salt.
4 Mix together honey, water, and vanilla, and stir into dry ingredients.
5 Spread on a lightly oiled baking sheet and squeeze mixture together to form small chunks, but don"t crowd; the chunks need to bake clear through.
6 Roast until golden brown, about 10 to 20 minutes.
7 (with the larger amount of water, reduce heat and bake longer).
8 As it bakes the granola may need stirring to brown evenly.
9 Cool thoroughly before storing.
10 Variations: replace part of the water with the freshly squeezed juice of 2 oranges (and add the grated rinds if the oranges were not sprayed with pesticides), or use 2 teaspoons orange oil.
11 For "gingerbread" granola, use half molasses (for half honey) and add 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ginger and ¼ teaspoon cloves.
12 For a nice change, substitute maple syrup for honey.
