Homemade Granola

REALLY?! My first post is REALLY going to be about food!? How appropriate! I LOVE FOOD! OM NOM NOM! I love healthy food, and I love sharing my recipes with ya'll! So I hope you enjoy.


A special request made by my cute sister-in-law was for a Granola recipe. I had one I have made before, but the other sunday my mother-in-law had bought a granola and I took bits from that granola and made my own. Here she blows!SO easy and SO yumm-o!


WHAT YOU NEED:

2 1/2 cups Wholegrain Rolled Oats

3 tbsp Flax Seed

3 tbsp Sesame Seed

1/4 cup Sunflower Seeds

1/2 cup Almonds, Whole

2 tsp Cinnamon Ground

1 tsp Sea Salt

1/4 cup Splenda Brown Sugar Blend

1/4 cup Oil, Canola

2 tbsp Clover Honey

1 tbsp Agave Nectar Light

1 tsp Organic Vanilla Extract

1 tsp Maple Extract

WHAT YOU DO:


Mix agave, oil, honey, maple extract and vanilla extract together in a small bowl and set aside. Mix all other ingredients in a large bowl. Add the oil mixture to the granola and mix well. Preheat oven to 350 F. On a rimmed baking tray lined with foil, spread the granola mixture out and bake for 20-ish minutes stirring every 10 min.

A FEW TIPS:

**I bought my nuts and seeds at Winco Foods because you can buy them in bulk saving you LOADS of money! WHOOT!


** Don't overcook! When it comes out it should still seem a little undercooked. As it cools it will harden and clump up a bit. Store in an air tight container.
