Amazing Granola

As the weather starts to turn into the fall, I have started to work on my comfort foods.  This morning I decided to make my own granola.  I was sick of going to the store and reading the back of the labels and not understanding most of the ingredients and seeing that high fructose corn syrup is in our cereals now!!!!!  So as a result I have created this easy and amazing granola that you can add any dried fruit to as you like and or nuts.  Enjoy and have a great day.  This recipe is gluten free.

Ingredients

3 Cups of Organic Oats
3 TBL Wheat Germ
2 TBL Flax Seed
3 TBL Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Raw Almonds
1/2 Cup Raw Cashews
1/4 TSP Salt
1/2 TSP Cinnamon
1/3 Cup Organic Honey (Preferably Local)
1/4 Cup Canola Oil
1 TSP Vanilla

Mixing Ingredients

1. Preheat oven to 300
2. Grab two bowls, one for your dry ingredients and one for your wet.  
3. Grab a cookie sheet.
4. Combine in one bowl your oats, flax seed, cinnamon, salt, wheat germ and brown sugar.  Mix well with your hands (the best mixing tool you have).
5. In bowl two, add honey, oil and vanilla.  Heat in microwave for 30 seconds.  Add to dry ingredients and mix again with those wonderful hands.
6. Lay on cookie sheet as even as you can get it.

Baking The Good Stuff

1. All you do is place it in the oven for 40 minutes.  But you need to make sure it is cooking evenly and mix with a spoon so that it doesn't burn on the sides.  

Like I said all you need to do is add your favorite fruit, yogurt or hell peanut butter.  It will stay in your dry storage for a good 2-3 weeks.  Make sure you put it in an air tight container.  I hope you enjoy this and the directions were good.  Have fun and Enjoy
