Marsha's Granola

(This makes 5 one-gallon Ziploc bags)

(I purchase most of the ingredients at Smith's)

10-14 cups rolled oats (purchased at the Lindon Cannery)
1 - 32 oz. bag raw wheat germ
1 - 20 oz. bag wheat bran
1 - 10 bag TVP (soy granules)
1/2 - 1 cup ground flax seed (sometimes at Costco)
1 - 12 oz. bag shredded unsweetened or sweetened coconut
1 - box All Bran Cereal
3 TBLS cinnamon
3 tsps salt

MIX ALL INGREDIENTS IN A VERY LARGE POT OR CONTAINER.

BRING TO A ROLLING BOIL THE FOLLOWING IN ANOTHER POT:
4 cups vegetable oil (Canola)
4 cups honey
1/4 cup or more of vanilla

POUR OIL/HONEY MIXTURE OVER PREMIXED DRY INGREDIENTS. STIR UNTIL ALL THE DRY INGREDIENTS ARE WET WITH THE OIL/'HONEY MIXTURE. THIS CAN TAKE A WHILE! PLACE SEVERAL CUPS OF GRANOLA MIXTURE ON LARGE FLAT PANS. SPREAD TO ABOUT 3/4 INCHES THICK. BAKE IN 350 DEGREE OVEN. DEPENDING ON YOUR OVEN (5-8 MINUTES) TURN OVER GRANOLA WITH A LARGE SPOON WHEN LIGHTLY BROWNED ON TOP. CONTINUE TO BROWN WHAT YOU HAVE TURNED OVER IN THE PAN (ANOTHER 5-8 MINUTES). REMOVE FROM THE OVEN WHEN ALL IS LIGHTLY BROWNED. COOL AND PLACEIN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER. ADD NUTS AND DRIED FRUITS TO TASTE.
