Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F and grease 9x13 baking dish.
  2. Combine rolled oats, sunflower seeds, and wheat germ in dish; bake 10 minutes and remove from oven.
  3. Add remaining dry ingredients (almonds through salt) to dish and stir to combine; add wet ingredients (oil through almond extract) and stir until completely combined.
  4. Bake 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until uniformly golden; granola will not be chunky yet, but will "harden up" as it cools.
  5. Remove dish to rack and cool, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to pan; store in airtight container.
