NINA'S HEALTHY GRANOLA
This is a recipe that I got from my wonderful friend. It's one of those granola recipes that you can easily tweak to fit your personal choice of tastes. If you don't like wheat germ, try flax meal. Not a coconut fan? Leave it out. And you can add any type of dried fruit that you like! You can't go wrong with this one. Plus...only 1/3 cup of brown sugar!! Let me know how yours turns out, and what fun takes you have on this recipe! I appreciate your input =)

Steps:
- Arrange the racks in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Toss the oats, coconut chips, apricots and pecans in a large bowl. Whisk together the brown sugar, canola oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a second bowl and drizzle over the oat mixture. Stir well so everything is evenly coated. Use your hands to toss and make sure every piece of oat is covered.
- Spread the mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and brown, 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet tray halfway through baking and stirring the granola with a spoon so it will cook evenly. Remove from the oven and add to a large bowl so it will stop cooking. Let cool before serving.
- Serve over a bowl of Quick Fix Honey Yogurt and top with berries.
- Combine the yogurt, honey, and cinnamon in a bowl.
HOMEMADE GRANOLA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Toss the oats, coconut, and almonds together in a large bowl. Whisk together the oil and honey in a small bowl. Pour the liquids over the oat mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until all the oats and nuts are coated. Pour onto a 13 by 18 by 1-inch sheet pan. Bake, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the mixture turns a nice, even, golden brown, about 45 minutes.
- Remove the granola from the oven and allow to cool, stirring occasionally. Add the apricots, figs, cherries, cranberries, and cashews. Store the cooled granola in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Use a variety of oats. Old-fashioned oats, quick oats, and steel-cut oats can all be used in granola. Old-fashioned oats are the most common type used, but quick oats will cook more quickly and steel-cut oats will give your granola a chewier texture.
- Choose your nuts and seeds wisely. There are many different nuts and seeds that can be added to granola, so choose ones that you enjoy the taste of. Some popular options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
- Sweeten your granola to taste. You can use honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar to sweeten your granola. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Add spices for flavor. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can add a lot of flavor to granola. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
- Bake your granola until it's golden brown. The baking time will vary depending on the type of oats you use and the size of your granola clusters. Keep an eye on your granola while it's baking and remove it from the oven when it's golden brown.
