Homemade Granola Recipe


An amazing recipe that has gotten rave reviews. Enjoy!


Ingredients:
- 2 cups oats
- 1 1/4 cup assorted nuts, finely chopped (I like using walnuts and
pecans)
- 1/4 cup black sesame seeds (optional)
- Finely ground flaxseed (optional)
- 1/3 cup raisins or dried cranberries

- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon syrup (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. In a bowl, combine oats, chopped nuts, sesame seeds, and flaxseed.
3. In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey, oil, cinnamon, vanilla,
and
syrup. Bring to a light boil, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture over
dry
mixture and stir to coat. Spread coated oats evenly over foil-lined
baking
sheet.
4. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 12-18 minutes or until
crispy,
stirring occasionally to keep granola from burning. And enjoy!
