This is a favorite recipe in our home! Homemade granola doesn’t contain any preservatives and you get more for your dollar! This is a modified version of a recipe from one of my best childhood friends. It will keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks (though we haven’t had to put that to the test yet 😉 )

You need:

– 4 1/2 cups of oats

– 1/2 cup of brown sugar (Organic cane sugar is a nice substitute here)

– 1/4 tsp sea salt

– 1 & 1/2 tbsp of cinnamon

– 1/4 cup of flax seeds

– 1/8 cup of sesame seeds

– 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds

– 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds

– 1 cup of chopped almonds

– 1/2 cup of vegetable oil

– 1/2 cup of honey

Preheat the oven to 250F

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl then add the oil and honey – mixing into the dry ingredients well. Put 1/2 of the mixture in a thin layer on 2 parchment lined baking sheets.

Bake for 45 minutes. Let cool, store in the fridge and enjoy! It’s a great power snack alone, as a topping for yogurt or as a hearty breakfast cereal with milk!
