homemade granola

this is a delicious recipe for i got from my friend marcia years ago.. it is a favorite of mine and super easy. i've been on a granola kick lately so i thought i'd share this yummy recipe with you.

GRANOLA
2 cups oats (i think you can use instant or old fashion)
1 cup shredded coconut
1 3/4 cup chopped walnuts (i usually use less and have also used pecans or almonds)
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup oil
14 oz. sweetened condensed milk (regular or fat free, i get the low fat from walmart)
1/2 t salt

add raisins or chocolate chips when cooled if desired.

stir it all together in a bowl. put it on a greased large cookie sheet or 9x13 pan bake at 325 for 40-60 min. turning every 15 minutes. i bake mine around 40 min b/c i like my granola a little chewy and not so crunchy. whatever works.
