Sunflower Oats Baked Granola may be the only cereal I eat anymore. It is that good. Oats, raisins, sunflower seeds and more. So friggin good.
Sunflower Oats baked Granola is the best all around garnola you can make. I can not wait until my two little nieces come and visit because, I just know, they are going to love it too.
We always have lots of fun together and baking this granola with them will just be another good time. You have got to try it because along with the crunch factor the sweetness is perfect. Oats, raisins, sunflower seeds and more. So friggin good.

Pack in an airtight container. It keeps about a month in the refrigerator. You can also freeze the granola/cereal for months. I always have it on hand. It really is good stuff.

Have you tried this cutting down the oil any? Maybe w/ apple sauce instead? I’m trying to watch all fats.
Ginny McMeans says
I have not tried anything different yet but I think you might be able to cut the oil and brown sugar down to 3/4 cup. Applesauce would not work because the oil is part of the baking process and makes it crispier. Applesauce would make it mushy. That is a lot of granola and spread out over 10 cups of the solid ingredients the oil measurement breaks down quite a bit to what you are actually getting in each serving. If you go ahead with the 3/4 cup measurement would you let me know how it went? Thanks so much in advance.
