Who wouldn't want this for breakfast...YUM!
I was getting a little tired of my usual breakfast smoothie and started looking for a healthy granola recipe. I finally found one I liked and made a few changes, here is what I came up with.
It turned out delicious!
3 cups rolled oats
2 cups raw almonds and or walnuts
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
21/2 tablespoons agave sweetener
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl combine wet ingredients and seasonings. Pour wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well. Pour mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and gentle stir to break up any large clusters. Return to oven, and turn temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 5 more minutes.
Combine with dried fruit for a yummy snack or layer with yogurt and berries for a delicious parfait.
