Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C, or gas mark 2).

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together brown rice syrup, canola oil, vanilla extract, and molasses until well combined.

In a large bowl, mix together rolled oats, wheat germ, sea salt, ground cinnamon, shredded coconut, carob chips, slivered almonds, chopped pecans, and raisins if using.

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture, stirring thoroughly until evenly coated.

Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes, then stir well.

Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown.

Allow the granola to cool on the baking sheet.

Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
