vanilla almond granola.

i got this recipe from a friend of mine. we really like it. we eat our granola like cereal with milk and usually add sliced bananas and pomegranate seeds. lucy likes craisins in hers. either way it is yummy, filling and pretty nutritious.




6 cups oats (not quick oats)
1 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup golden flax seeds
2/3 cup almond oil (you may use vegetable)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 275. Combine all ingredients together in large bowl. Spread in even layer on a baking sheet. Cook for 30-60 minutes, making sure to stir every 15 minutes.

If you like your granola crispy and crunchy and your almonds and coconut toasted, cook for 60 minutes. Then store it in a container that isn't airtight- or keep it in the freezer. If you like your granola a little more on the chewy side, cook for 30 minutes and do keep in an airtight container.
