Sundance Granola

Adapted from the January 2003 issue of Food and Wine

INGREDIENTS:
62/3 cup whole almonds
2/3 cup pecans
1/3 cup unsalted sunflower seeds, raw or roasted
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup wheat germ
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup honey
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ cup raisins

METHOD:
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine nuts, sunflower seeds, wheat germ and cinnamon, stirring with a wooden spoon. In a small saucepan, combine honey, maple syrup, molasses and oil, warming over low heat. Pour over nut mixture and combine, stirring so that everything is well coated. Pour cereal onto baking sheet and spread evenly. Bake for about 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so, until cereal is noticeably toasted and begins to look crunchy. Remove from oven, and stir in raisins until well combined. Let cool. Serve immediately with milk or yogurt, or store in an airtight container, for at least 2 weeks.

Makes about 6 cups.
