INGREDIENTS

Cooking Time: 75 minutes
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup 100% Maple Syrup

1/8 cup clover honey

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant)

1/2 cup slivered almonds

1/2 cup chopped pecans

2 tablespoons roasted flax seeds (can omit if you like)

1/2 cup shredded coconut

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup diced dried sweetened cranberries (you can also use mango, apples, etc)

1/4 cup diced dried dates

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, cinnamon, and brown sugar.

In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, honey, oil, vanilla, and salt.

Combine both mixtures and pour onto 2 sheet pans.

Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to achieve an even color.

The granola should still be a little wet (not sopping) when you take out of the oven.

Remove from oven and transfer into a large bowl. Add cranberries and dates and mix until evenly distributed.

RECIPE BACKSTORY

I was watching the Cooking Channel one day and their I saw Bobby Flay making a delightful Granola. He was using a variety of ingredients and I decided, I am going to try it!

I didn't like some of the items he puts in it, so I decided I could alter it to make it my own! Boy did it come out yummy. I now have to make this every weekend for my husband to munch on throughout the week!

I hope you enjoy!
