Breadmaker Granola - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups oats
1/2 cup raw sesame seeds (shelled)
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (shelled)
1 cup nuts (slivered almonds, walnuts, filberts etc)
3 tablespoons pumpkin butter (or natural peanut butter)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup ground flax seeds (or bran or wheat germ)
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups dried fruit (I use rasins and chopped apricots)

Preparation

Put all ingredients except the dried fruit in the breadmaker. Set to jam cycle and run. This will produce well-toasted but not burnt granola. If you like it a little less toasted, simply take it out before the time is up.
Add dried fruit after the cycle is finished.
Tips:.
Use a few tablespoons of orange juice concentrate instead of applesauce for an orangy flavor. This is would taste good with Craisins sweetened dried cranberries at the end.
If you like crispy, lumpy granola then add 1/2 cup of flour mixed with 1/4 tsp baking soda and a quarter cup of fruit juice concentrate.
If you want to use this as more of a trail mix than a yogurt topping it might be better to omit the ground flax.
I use a pair of scissors to cut up the apricots, but I'm sure a knife and chopping board would work just as well.
