Granola Recipe

Granola

In a medium bowl combine:
4 c. rolled oats
1 c. coarsely chopped walnuts
1/2 c. coarsely chopped almonds
½ c. sesame seeds
½ c. wheat germ
½ c. flaxseed meal
¼ c. nonfat dry milk powder

In microwave safe bowl mix:
½ c. canola oil (I use grape seed oil to make it healthier)
½ c. honey
¼ c. brown sugar
3 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla

Stir and microwave for one minute. Pour over dry ingredients and transfer to a large shallow baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes at about 300 degrees stirring every ten minutes so that it doesn’t burn.
Note: When I followed this recipe, I thought it was a little dry so I added a bit more oil. Also, you can interchange different kinds of nuts and make it how you like it. When I made this I put in raisins, some sunflower seeds, more walnuts and no almonds.
