Honey Almond Granola
1. Prepare coating: Time this so it is ready right when all the ingredients are ready for it--In a saucepan combine 1 cup of coconut oil or olive oil and 3/4 cup of honey/agave and just let it warm up. Take off the stove and add 1 tsp. of vanilla.
2. Meanwhile warm up the oats - In a 350 degree oven spread the oats on 3 baking sheets and let warm up for about 8 minutes.
3. In a large mixing bowl stir together:
(1) The warmed oats
(2) 1/2 cup of flax seeds or something else! (instead of the wheat germ in the recipe)(3) 1 cup of sliced almonds, walnuts, pecans or a combination
(4) 1 1/2 cup of coconut flakes
(5) 1/2 cup of raw sunflower seeds
Note: What's great about granola is you can make a lot of your own substitutions. And if it's a little too gooey, add a bit more of something to make it come out right!
3. Prepare the granola:
(1) Pour the oil/honey mixture over the oat mixture and stir until coated.
(2) Put as much as you can on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
(3) Stir every 7 minutes and continue baking and stirring until toasted.
(4) Put the pan on a rack to cool before putting it in a glass container. If you have a convection oven, you can put two pans in and switch them half way. Watch them carefully though!
4. Add some dried fruit:
(1) 1 cup of raisins (in place of walnuts in recipe or add some of both)
(2) 1/2 cup of chopped dates (or use some dried apples)
(3) Any other fruit like craisins, dried blueberries, etc.
