Low Fat Crunchy Granola image

This is a granola that is not made with fat and has more wheat bran than most recipes. I have also added oat bran and wheat germ. If I have them I add slivered almonds along with the pecans or walnuts.

Time 1h

Yield 14 cups, 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup brown sugar (I used a scant 1 cup)
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 cups rolled oats (old fashioned)
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans or 1 1/2 cups walnuts
1 cup wheat bran
1 cup oat bran
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup coconut
1 cup sunflower seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275ยบ.
  • Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine brown sugar and water in a 4-cup microwave proof glass measuring cup or bowl.
  • Place in microwave on high for 5 minutes and cook until sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Remove from microwave, add vanilla and salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, nuts, wheat bran, oat bran, wheat germ, coconut, sunflower seeds, and brown sugar syrup mixture.
  • Stir until thoroughly mixed.
  • Spread the granola onto cookie sheets and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until golden and crunchy.
  • Stir every fifteen minutes.
  • (I use a very large stainless steel bowl instead of a cookie sheet) After baking you may add raisins, dates, or any other dried fruit.

This granola recipe is a winner! It's low in fat and packed with flavor. I love the combination of oats, nuts, and seeds, and the honey and maple syrup give it just the right amount of sweetness. It's the perfect way to start my day!
