Early mornings at Moosewood Restaurant, the kitchen hums with activity. The bakers are doing their wake-up baking rituals-and one of them is always making granola. Nothing tastes fresher than homemade granola; nothing makes the kitchen smell better. It makes getting up early an event to look forward to! Serves 6 Total time: 30 to 40 minutes Preheat the oven to 350F, Lightly oil a baking pan. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, oat bran, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, cinnamon, and the nuts. In a small bowl, combine the vegetable oil, maple syrup, and barley malt or molasses. Stir the maple mixture into the oat mixture and toss well to coat thoroughly. Spread the granola evenly on the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes; stir at 5-minute intervals to ensure uniform baking, until golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Stir the granola occasionally to help dissipate heat. When completely cooled, place in an airtight container for storage. The granola will keep for 7 to 10 days.
