Ingredients:
- 1-1/4 cups Rolled oats 300 mL
- 1/3 cup Shredded coconut 75 mL
- 1/4 cup Wheat germ 50 mL
- 1/4 cup Wheat flakes 50 mL
- 2 tbsp Sliced almonds 25 mL

Directions:
In bowl, stir together rolled oats, coconut, wheat germ, wheat flakes, almonds and sunflower seeds.
In small saucepan, heat together honey and oil over medium low heat; gradually stir into oat mixture until well coated. Spread on rimmed baking sheet; bake in 350° F (180° C) oven, stirring frequently, for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven to rack; stir in raisins. Let cool, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping. (Granola can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one month)
