Dry roasted granola

I like making granola, but most recipes are fairly heavy and sweet.  I have never cared much for the raw taste of muesli.  Here is a nice in-between version, with toasted oats and nuts, and a little brown sugar, that I found while browsing The Enchanted Broccoli Forest recently.
DryRoast Granola
1 cup raw rolled oats
⅓ cup chopped nuts
⅓ cup wheat germ
⅓ cup sesame seeds
⅓ cup sunflower seeds
⅓ cup shredded coconut
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ tsp salt


Use a large heavy skillet (preferably cast iron). Toast the oats and nuts over medium low heat, stirring continuously for 5 minutes.

Add wheat germ, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut and dried fruit. Heat and stir for another 10 minutes.

Sprinkle in brown sugar and salt. Cook for 2-5 more minutes, still stirring. Remove from heat, cool, and store in an airtight container.
