Nutty Granola - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup wheat bran or 1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup sunflower seeds (use all raw nuts, seeds and wheat germ)
1 cup raisins (I use a mix of thompsons' and golden)
1/2 cup pitted dates, chopped
1 - 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup maple syrup
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 225\u00b0F.
Mix first six ingredients together and spread evenly on a couple of cookie sheets.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove and stir. Bake another 15 minutes. While it bakes, assemble the other ingredients. (coat the 1/4 cup measure with oil before using it for maple syrup).
Immediately transfer oat mixture to a large bowl and stir in the dried fruit and cinnamon. Slowly, pour in the maple syrup and stir to mix well.
Let it cool and store in an airtight container where, my guess is, it'll keep up to a month. Like it'll last that long :-).
