Granola recipe

Several people have asked for this recipe. I've made a lot of modifications, but still want to try to get rid of the need to put any oil in it, but for right now I do put the oil in.

Pre heat oven *350

5 cups organic rolled oats
2 cups of your favorite nuts (I use walnuts & almonds)
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup coconut
1 cup flax seed   (you don't have to add this, but adds nutrients)
1 TBSP cinnamon

Mix all ingredients above and then place on greased cookie sheets.

1 cup raisins
1 cup cranberries

Add the above after it's cooked.

3/4 cup oil (I use olive or coconut oil)
1 cup raw local honey

Heat oil, honey & vanilla in pan until blended. (5 mins) Then drizzle all over granola and bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the oats and nuts are toasted. Immediately after it comes out of the oven, stir in the raisins and dried cranberries.


You can find almost all the above ingredients in the bulk foods isle in your grocery store. Stays good for about 2 weeks, but it wont be around that long I'm sure! :) This is a great alternative to boxed cereals which are not really healthy.
