Victoria's Classic Granola
Both adults and kids alike will like this classic granola. It’s great for breakfast or a snack and the good thing is that you’ll know what the ingredients are that you and your family are eating. If you want to make this granola more wholesome then cut the honey and brown sugar in half.

1/2 Cup Rolled Wheat
1/2 Cup Rolled Rye
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

Preheat your oven to 325º F. In a large size bowl combine the oats, wheat, rye, brown sugar almonds, pecans, wheat germ, bran flakes, coconut, sesame seeds, raisins and powdered milk. Set aside. In a small saucepan heat combine the vegetable oil, water and vanilla. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the dry ingredients and mix well.
