Description
A perfect breakfast or snack to have on hand. This is slightly sweet and has a nice nutty flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
- 4 Tablespoons Water (or More If You Like More Chunks In Your Granola)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 4 cups Rolled Oats
- ¼ cups Flaxseed Meal
- ¼ teaspoons Salt (optional)
- 1 cup Chopped Almonds
- ⅔ cups Dried Fruit
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 275 F.
2. Mix the honey, syrup, oil, water and vanilla together in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl mix together the oats, flaxseed meal and salt.
4. Drizzle the wet ingredients over the oats mixture.
5. Stir until thoroughly combined. It works best to get your hands dirty and mix it making nice clumps. If you want more chunks in your granola, you may need to add more water.
6. Spread mixture out on a large baking pan and place in the oven for about 20 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes so that it cooks evenly.
7. After 20 minutes, stir in the almonds and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and stir in dried fruit while granola is still warm.
8. Allow granola to cool completely and store in an airtight container. Enjoy plain, in yogurt or with a splash of milk/non-dairy milk.
