Rhodas Granola

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Melt butter in a small sauce pan with brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Heat just until mixture is smooth, and combined.

Meanwhile, measure rolled oats, sesame seeds, and wheat germ into a large bowl. Pour butter and sugar mixture over oats and stir to evenly coat the oats. Finally, add the nuts and stir into the oat mixture.

Spread mixture on two cookie sheets. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring and rotating every 15 minutes. Cool before storing in air tight containers.

It is important to mix the oats into the butter/brown sugar mixture to give the granola the best flavor. If you mix the nuts in first, the sugar will gather on them and the oats will taste bland.
