Modified from a recipe on trailcooking.com

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup Bob's Red Mill 5-grain cereal
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 3 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
• 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix the dry items in one bowl and the wet items in another. Add the wet to the dry, and mix to coat evenly. Spray one sheet pan with cooking spray, and spread mixture evenly in a thin layer on the pan. Bake 75-90 minutes at 225 degrees, or until it starts to brown lightly. Cool in pan and then store in plastic bags.

We also like Bare Naked Maple Pecan granola, and often use it if we don't have time to make our own.
