Chunky Granola I

__NOTOC__
== Ingredients ==
* 8 cups rolled oats
* 1 cup nuts (more if desired -- up to double this amount)
* ½ cup sunflower seeds
* ½ cup whole millet or whole buckwheat groats
* 3 cups whole wheat flour (or more) or part cornmeal
* rice flour or other whole grain flour
* 1 tsp salt (or more, as desired)
* ½ cup honey (or more -- up to double this amount more water makes the granola chunkier, less makes it crumbly.)
* 1 cup hot water, or up to 2 cups hot water
* 1 tsp vanilla
== Directions ==
# Preheat oven to 350 °F.
# In a large bowl or pot, combine oats, nuts, seeds, millet, flour, and salt.
# Mix together honey, water, and vanilla, and stir into dry ingredients.
# Spread on a lightly oiled baking sheet and squeeze mixture together to form small chunks, but don"t crowd; the chunks need to bake clear through.
# Roast until golden brown, about 10 to 20 minutes (with the larger amount of water, reduce heat and bake longer).
# As it bakes the granola may need stirring to brown evenly.
# Cool thoroughly before storing.
== Variations ==
Replace part of the water with the freshly squeezed juice of 2 oranges (and add the grated rinds if the oranges were not sprayed with pesticides), or use 2 teaspoons orange oil.
For "gingerbread" granola, use half molasses (for half honey) and add 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ginger and ¼ teaspoon cloves.
For a nice change, substitute maple syrup for honey.
