2/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup honey
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup slivered almonds
1/3 cup unsalted roasted sunflower seeds
1- 8.7 oz jar sesame seeds (it's just over 1/3 cup)
1/3 cup flaxseed, whole
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Oven temp for this will be 350 F and your rack should be in the middle of the oven.
Line a large cookie sheet (the kind with the edges, not the flat kind) with aluminum foil and spray lightly with vegetable oil spray.
In a saucepan, heat the honey, oil, brown sugar, and vanilla over a gentle low heat. I let it just start to threaten to come to a boil
In a big bowl mix together the oats, walnuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseed, and almonds.
Add the warm honey mixture and stir it well so everything is evenly mixed together.
Spread the mixture out on the cookie sheet so it's nice and even and bake in the oven for about 45 minutes.
Let the granola cool fairly well but a touch warm is OK too.
Turn the brittle out onto a cutting board or even the counter so it falls out of the pan. At this point you should have one big honkin' piece of brittle.
Carefully peel the foil off of the brittle. Break the brittle into chunks. If the brittle is still a bit warm you can sort of fold or tear it apart. If it's completely cool you'll need to wail on it with a big ladle or something similar.
Let the brittle cool completely and then store in an airtight container. I don't know how long this will keep since it usually disappears pretty quickly at our house. It is excellent when served with Greek yogurt.
