20140202-174945.jpg

When you have a Hippy Weekend, you must make some really good granola. This recipe made our Sunday morning healthy and tasty.

3 cups organic oats

1/3 cup wheat germ

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt

1/8 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup canola oil

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup molasses

1 teaspoon vanilla

2/3 cup organic raisins

1. preheat the oven to 325 and line a baking sheet with parchment

2. combine the oats, wheat germ, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar in a medium bowl.

3. in a separate bowl, combine the honey, molasses, oil and vanilla. Pour over the oat mixture and stir until the oats are thoroughly coated.

4. spread the mixture on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.

5. remove the pan from the oven and stir the granola.

6. add the raisins

7. cool and store in an airtight container.

On this morning, we combined ours with some of our homemade yogurt and fresh strawberries.

(We thought that we might add some flax meal and substitute the molasses with sorghum. We may also decide to use other dried fruits)
