Peanut Butter Granola

I think this is by far my most favorite granola that I've made! It comes from weekend cooker - my teammate for the January 2010 Aussie/NZ recipe swap. This is a filling granola - which I like. I have a feeling you will love it too. :)

Peanut Butter Granola

3 cups regular oats

1/4 cup wheat germ

1/4 cup toasted coconut

1/4 cup sunflower kernels (NOT the shells)

1/4 cup raisins

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1/2 cup creamy or crunchy would be good too - peanut butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

Combine first 5 ingredients in a crock pot. Melt final 3 ingredients either in a saucepan or microwave. Pour over oatmeal mixture and mix well. Cover and cook on low for 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes.

Spread onto a cookie sheet and place in 300 degree oven for 20 minutes - stirring every 5 minutes to dry out granola if you prefer it crunchy.
