My Favorite Granola
After trying a number of different granola recipes I've finally found one I like. My own! I don't always measure everything exactly and will vary the ingredients depending on what I have on hand. Feel free to add more of the ingredients you like or less of the ones you don't. My favorite snack with this granola is a yogurt parfait with vanilla yogurt, berries and granola.
1 cup old fashioned oatmeal
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
1/8 cup orange juice
1/2 Tbsp canola or olive oil
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the OJ and oil in a small bowl and add to the oat mixture. Stir well. Spread onto the bottom of a cookie sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes, stir with a spatula. Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Let cool. Add dried cranberries, golden raisins or any other dried fruit you like. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
