Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nuts, sunflower seeds, millet, whole-grain flour, and salt.
  3. In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the honey, hot water, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated and moist.
  5. Spread the mixture onto a large baking sheet. Use your hands or the back of a spoon to press the mixture together, forming distinct, chunky clusters. Do not crowd the pan.
  6. Bake for 10 to 20 minutes, stirring once or twice if necessary to ensure even browning. Watch closely to prevent burning, especially if using a larger amount of water.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
