Easy and Inexpensive Granola

 

Ingredients:

 

4 cups oats

1 cup sunflower seeds

1 cup buckwheat groats

1/4 cup sesame seeds

1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (optional)

1/4 cup any available chopped nuts

2 T wheat germ (optional)

1/2 cup or more any dried fruit that you like, cut in

small pieces

1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup sweetener (maple syrup, brown sugar, honey,

whatever)

1/2 t cinnamon

1/8 t salt

Directions:

 

This recipe is infinitely variable according to

whatever you have on hand. Preheat oven to 300

degrees. In large shallow baking pan, combine all of

the grain and seed ingredients. Combine sweetener and

oil in small pan, heat until it it is smooth and hot.

Pour over the seed mixture and stir. Add spices, put

the whole thing in the oven and bake for about 30

minutes. Stir after about 15 minutes. Let cool, add

dried fruits; mix will keep almost forever in

air-tight container. Delicious as a cold cereal with

soy milk, or add soy milk and fresh fruit and heat

until slightly boiling (about a minute in microwave)

for a quick and delicious porridge.

 

Serves: 8.

 

Preparation time: 5 minutes to make, 30 minutes to

bake.

 

Nutrition Information: This is chock full of those

whole grains and seeds that are so important to our

diet. For vegans, the sesame seeds have lots of

calcium too.

 

If you are watching fat and sugar intake, I make mine

without the oil and sweetener, and it is still yummy

-- especially with the lite soy milk as opposed to cow

milk because soy milk has a sweet taste. Compare the

price of making this to buying store granola -- it is

amazing..
