Tu B'shevat Trail Mix

• 3 cups old-fashioned oats • 1 cup raw sunflower seeds • 1/2 cup lightly toasted sesame seeds • 1 cup wheat bran • 1/2 cup oat bran • 1/2 cup wheat germ • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts • 1 cup raw peanuts • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds • 1/4 cup safflower oil • 1 cup honey • 2 cups mixed dried fruit (raisins, golden raisins, and dates, figs, apples, pears cut into small pieces)

This recipe makes 10 cups of granola.
1.	Ask an adult to pre-heat the oven to 300°F. In a very large bowl, mix together the oats, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, wheat bran, oat bran, wheat germ and nuts. (If you don't have a bowl that's large enough, make half the recipe.) Mix well. Add the oil and honey. Stir to blend evenly.
2.	Pour the mixture into a large baking pan with high sides. Ask an adult to put it into the oven. Bake until the grains and nuts are lightly colored and thoroughly cooked, about 45 minutes. Have an adult help you stir the mixture every 5 to 10 minutes to make sure it cooks evenly. An adult should also help you take the mixture out of the oven. Let it cool completely. Stir and break up any clumps that might form while the trail mix cools. Add the mixed dried fruit. Store Tu B'shevat Trail Mix in an airtight container. Take it with you on hikes, or to school. Enjoy!
