Find a large, oven-proof metal bowl.  Add to the bowl:

• 6 cups oatmeal
• 1 cup sunflower seeds
• 1 cup raw buckwheat
• 1 cup granulated peanuts
• 1 cup whole peanuts (roasted ok, but not seasoned with paprika, etc.)
• 1 cup almonds (chopped or whole)
• 1 cup cashews or pecans (chopped or whole)
• 1/4 cup flax seeds
• (ingredients can vary based on availability.  At the reunion, I substituted pumpkin seeds for the sunflower seeds and didn't have buckwheat or granulated peanuts so increased the amounts of whole peanuts, almonds, and cashews.)

In a glass container, combine:

• 100 g coconut oil
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup water

Microwave wet ingredients until coconut oil is melted.

Add a shot of almond extract to wet ingredients, if desired.

 Stir wet ingredients into dry.

Place bowl in cold oven.  Turn oven on to 375F and bake for 60 minutes, stirring about every 15 minutes.  Turn oven off.

Add:

• 1-2 cups raisins
• 1-2 cups unsweetened coconut

Stir to combine.  Place back in oven as it cools so that the raisins are exposed to a bit of heat.

Once the granola is cool, store in a sealed container.
