Delicious granola

What I love about this recipe is that it has big morsels to bite into. With homemade almond milk poured over this morning cereal its just pure goodness...I sometimes will add an organic banana or organic fresh mixed berries to give it a sweet natural twist.

Ingredients

5 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup raw wheat germ
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup flax seeds
1 tsp fresh ground cinnamon
3/4 cup pure liquid honey
1/4 cup organic coconut oil
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup filtered cold water
1 cup pitted medjool dates, cut into big chunks
2 cups dried cranberries
1 cup raisins

Directions

Preheat oven to 300F and set the oven rack in the middle.

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and cinnamon.
2.In a smaller glass bowl, combine honey and coconut oil, then warm in microwave or on stove until liquid. Add vanilla and water.
3.Add wet mixture to the dry, stirring until crumbly.
4.Spread onto a 13-by-18-inch baking sheet.

Bake for 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes and rotating pan

5.Remove from oven and cool. Transfer to another bowl,add pitted dates, dried cranberries and raisins.

This granola needs to be refrigerated in an airtight container.

This is really so much better than buying it already made. You know what goes in it and it is so fresh...enjoy!!
