Recipe - Chunky Granola (With No Oil Added)

8 cup Rolled oats
1 cup Nuts (more if desired,
up to double this amount)
One half cup Sunflower seeds
One half cup Whole millet
OR whole buckwheat groats
3 cup Whole wheat flour (or more)
OR part cornmeal,
rice flour,
or other wholegrain flour
1 teaspoon Salt (or more, as desired)
One half cup Honey (or more,
up to double this amount)
1 cup Hot water, or up to:
2 cup Hot water *
1 teaspoon Vanilla

* Note: More water makes the granola chunkier, less makes it crumbly.

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl or pot, combine oats, nuts, seeds,
millet, flour, and salt. Mix together honey, water, and vanilla, and stir
into dry ingredients. Spread on a lightly oiled baking sheet and squeeze
mixture together to form small chunks, but don't crowd; the chunks need to
bake clear through. Roast until golden brown, about 10 to 20 minutes. (With
the larger amount of water, reduce heat and bake longer.) As it bakes the
granola may need stirring to brown evenly. Cool thoroughly before storing.

Variations: Replace part of the water with the freshly squeezed juice of 2
oranges (and add the grated rinds if the oranges were not sprayed with
pesticides), or use 2 teaspoons orange oil.

For "gingerbread" granola, use half molasses (for half honey) and add 2
teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ginger and One fourth teaspoon cloves.

For a nice change, substitute maple syrup for honey.
