This is my second attempt at making a granola out of some leftover spent grain from a beer. It seems like sort of a waste to just turn all of that grain into compost, and this is an interesting method of turning it into something edible. I tried some other nuts before, and left out the peanut butter and wheat germ, and it was a bit loose, and a pain to eat, but it tasted really good. I figured that the new ingredients would help bind it. If that doesn't work, I may use some whole wheat flour or oat flour to help it stick together.
4 cups spent grain
2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup wheat germ
1/3 cup flaxseed meal
8oz honey (spring blossom, in this case) + 2-4 oz hot water to rinse honey bear
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Mix thoroughly and scoop into a 9x13 baking dish. Bake at 350F for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool in the oven.
