cinnamon raisin granola

i love granola and my family likes it pretty well too.  i started making it about a year ago, but just made it with wheat germ for the first time this week.  if you've never bought wheat germ, i found it on the cereal aisle with the oatmeal...i'll save you the time i spent scouring the baking aisle. :)  we like our granola pretty basic around here, so there's not a whole lot to this recipe.  Click here for printable version.

4 cups old fashioned oats
3/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup raisins

in a large bowl combine oats and wheat germ.  set aside.

in a saucepan, combine brown sugar, oil, honey, and cinnamon; bring to a boil.  remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

pour over oat mixture, stir to coat.  spread in large shallow baking pan.

bake at 350* for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.  cool.  add raisins.
