Light N' Crunchy Granola

For those that requested my granola recipe I decided to post it here. (I can't take credit for creating the original recipe, but I'm posting my version below). Sorry no pictures but granola is pretty straight forward I think :)

Light N’ Crunchy Granola
 
Combine following in large mixing bowl:

½ lb unsweetened fine coconut
½ cup sliced almonds (slightly rounded)
½ cup pecan pieces (slightly rounded)
¼ cup raw sunflower seeds
2 Tb- 1/4 cup whole flaxseeds
2/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
4 ½ cups quick oats
4 ½ cups regular oats

 

In blender, blend until creamy:

1 cup water
1 cup oil
1 cup brown sugar
2 Tbs. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. salt

Pour blended mixture over dry mixture. Mix together well, lifting and rolling mixture between the palms of your hands until mixture is evenly moistened.

Spread on baking sheets and bake at 170° F overnight.
