Katie's Wholesome Delicious Granola Recipe

Granola:

3c old fashioned oats
3/4c flour (wheat or white will do)
1/4c wheat germ and/or flax meal
1c chopped nuts of your choice ( I like walnuts and almonds)
1/4c brown sugar (light or dark, or omit if you want less sweetened granola)
1/2c maple syrup (or honey)
1/2c coconut oil



Mix dry ingredients well. Whisk together oil and syrup. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix well with hands. Bake on a cookie sheet in a ~1/2in layer in an oven set at 250F, for 1 hour (stirring about half way through). Take out and let sit for about 5min, mix in dried fruits after baking (optional).  Store in an airtight container on the counter. Eat, drink and be merry!

  2. My pleasure, I just made a batch this morning too and got a "Mom, you make the most delicious granola" from my 8 year old. Kid tested, mother approved ;)
