Home-made Granola

Home made granola is such a wonderful treat... great for snacks and lunch boxes...and it makes the house smell so good when it's cooking!  Matt uses it to top his Almond Breeze yogurt in his lunch container each day.

This is super easy to make and quite in-expensive.  There a lot of ways you can experiment to get just the right flavor combinations for your family.

 

 

Our favorite Recipe:

4 cups of Oats

1 cut sliced/chopped almonds

1/2 cup raw sun-flower seeds

1/2 shredded coconut

1/2 cup sweetener (apple juice, honey, agave, pure maple syrup)

1/2 cup - 1 cup dried fruit (raisins, cherries, cranberries etc)

1 TBL of olive oil (I usually just drizzle, IF I use it at all)

1/2 teaspoon of sea salt

sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom to taste (opt)

 

Mix all ingredient except dried fruit and spread onto baking sheets (non-stick spray first).  Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes, turning the ingredients a few times.  Take out and add dried fruit and let cool.  Easy storage in mason jars in the fridge.  A little goes a long  way!  Yum!
