Sydney's Granola

Sydney's Granola

Making granola in your home ensures freshness while also reducing costs. Buy your ingredients with mothering Mother bags at a store that offers good quality ingredients. Measure, stir, bake and enjoy!

Now a video to walk you through the process, and to enhance your understanding of good nutrition coming from your own hands! 

4 cups rolled oats
1 cup almonds, chopped
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup safflower oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 rounded t vanilla
1 rounded t cinnamon
1/2 t salt 
Dried fruit (raisins, dates, apricots)
Warm the oil and syrup over low heat. Remove and add vanilla. In a large glass dish, such as Pyrex, combine remaining ingredients, except the dried fruit. Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well to coat all grains. Bake in a 300F oven, stirring every 20 minutes, for 45min to 1 hour.
Let cool completely. Add dried fruit, if desired, and mix to combine. Store in airtight containers. To avoid rancidity, eat within 3 weeks.
This is good as a cereal or snack. Makes approx 6 cups.
