Whole Grain Granola

(10 servings) Printable Version

5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup millet
3/4 cup oat bran
3/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
1 cup apple cider or apple juice
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup brown rice syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon canola oil
1 cup raw almonds or hazelnuts - coarsely chopped
1 cups dried cherries or raisins or other dried fruit

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix together the oats, nuts, millet, oat bran, wheat germ, brown sugar and cinnamon.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the apple juice, maple syrup, brown rice syrup vanilla and canola oil.

Add the wet ingredient to the dry ingredients and mix until well-combined. Fold in nuts. Mixture should be a little clumpy.

Spread mixture evenly over a very large parchment-lined large baking sheet (or two medium-sized baking sheets).

Bake for 45 minutes to an hour - stirring every 15 minute - until granola is just golden brown. Remove from oven and stir in dried fruit.

Store granola in an airtight container for up to a week.

This is a healthy granola that can be easily modified to fit your tastes and the ingredients you have available.

Mr Breakfast would like to thank Angela for this recipe.
