Heart healthy granola



Heart Healthy Granola

Warning - this is addictive. It's not low calorie but full of goodness.

It's my FAVORITE breakfast - love it over berries or baked apples

3 c rolled oats
1/3 cup wheat germ (I leave this out)
1/3 c large seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, or whatever you'd like - raid the bird feeder)
1/3 c small seeds (sesame, flax, etc)
1/3 c chopped almonds (or any nuts)
1/3 c brown sugar (I cut this in half)
1 t cinnamon pinch of salt
1/3 c canola oil 1/4 c honey
1 t vanilla extract

 Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl (oats through salt). Combine oil, honey and vanilla, then pour over dry stuff. Mix well. Spread on cooking sheet and bake in 350 degree oven until golden (about 15 minutes) stirring occasionally.
