GRANOLA

GRANOLA
This was a pretty good recipe. I found it in a sports magazine. It burned really easy. Would probably stir every 5 minutes. Still like the recipe in the lemon cookbook better, but this one seems a little more healthy.

3 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup coconut flakes, unsweetened
3 T flax seeds (I used ground)
1/4 c sunflower or pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds (or chopped nuts)
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 cup oil
2 T honey
1 T pure maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla
---
2 cups dried fruit, chopped (dried cherries and mango are a favorite)

Preheat oven to 375. Line cookie sheet with tin foil. Mix everything together except the fruit. Stir well. Put mixture on cookie sheet. Bake for 20-30 minutes, stir every 5-10 minutes.

Remove from oven and cool completely. Once cooled add fruit.
