Directions
1 	* note: more water makes the granola chunkier, less makes it crumbly.

2 	Preheat oven to 350°F.

3 	In a large bowl or pot, combine oats, nuts, seeds, millet, flour, and salt.

4 	Mix together honey, water, and vanilla, and stir into dry ingredients.

5 	Spread on a lightly oiled baking sheet and squeeze mixture together to form small chunks, but don"t crowd; the chunks need to bake clear through.

6 	Roast until golden brown, about 10 to 20 minutes.

7 	(with the larger amount of water, reduce heat and bake longer).

8 	As it bakes the granola may need stirring to brown evenly.

9 	Cool thoroughly before storing.

10 	Variations: replace part of the water with the freshly squeezed juice of 2 oranges (and add the grated rinds if the oranges were not sprayed with pesticides), or use 2 teaspoons orange oil.

11 	For "gingerbread" granola, use half molasses (for half honey) and add 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ginger and ¼ teaspoon cloves.

12 	For a nice change, substitute maple syrup for honey.
