Granola Recipe

Do you know what's in your cereal? Here's my favourite granola recipe. When you make it your house will smell amazing.

This granola tastes great with Organic Skim Milk or 1/2 cup dry as a mid-afternoon snack instead of a candy bar or cookie.

Simple Crunchy Granola

Makes enough for breakfast for the next week! Makes approx. 8 cups

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Mix in a large bowl:

• 4 cups rolled oat flakes
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
• 1 cup wheat germ
• 1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
• 1 cup sunflower seeds, raw plain (not roasted and not salted)
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds
• 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon

Add:

• 3/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup oil

Stir until mixed well.

Spread even amounts into two 9 x 13 inch baking pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

Let cool and store in an airtight container.
