Granola Chip Crunch... should have made a double batch!

I actually made this on Saturday and I should have doubled the batch. It is almost gone already! It's that good!



Here is what you need:



3 cups uncooked regular oats
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup whole natural almonds
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup sunflower kernels
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp. honey
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large mixing bowl with Pam spray (or Great Value brand - works just as well!) Combine oats, coconut, almonds, wheat germ and sunflower kernels. Stir well and set aside.



Combine honey, oil, sugar, vanilla and salt. Stir well and pour over oat mixture. I started out with a spatula, but as you can see, I ended with my hands. Press the oats together with your hands so that all of the mixture is coated.

Spread granola mixture onto a lightly greased, foil covered 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan.



Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes until golden, stirring every 5 minutes. Cool completely and then stir in chocolate chips.

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 1/2 months. Yield: 5 1/2 cups.
