Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup wheat germ
• 1/2 cup flax seeds

   Combine oats, wheat germ, flax seeds, cinnamon, almonds, and cranberries in a large bowl.
3. 3
   In a separate bowl combine vegetable oil, brown sugar, honey, and water.
4. 4
   Add the honey mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until all the oats are evenly coated. Transfer wet granola evenly on to two large cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
5. 5
   Cook for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
