Cranberry Sunflower Seed Granola

January 12, 2011

I had been getting a bit board with my normal greek yogurt breakfast and wanted to add more flavor. Because of the three rounds of antibiotics that I have been on I need to eat at least two cups of yogurt a day to build the good bacteria back up in my stomach and I am just getting board with it! Granola is a good way to add a little extra flavor into my dairy requirement. I love that there are so many options to make granola exactly what you want.

 

Ingredients

 

4 cups Old Fashioned Oats

1 cup slivered almonds

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 package dried cranberries

Pinch Salt

 

 

 

Directions

 

Preheat over to 300 degrees. In a large bowl mix together oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, vegetable oil, maple syrup, salt and cranberries.

 

Spread out onto a large cookie sheet covered in parchment paper or a silpat (one of my favorite baking tools!). Bake for 20, stirring after 10.

 

Cool and store in an airtight container.

I love granola!!!!! I’ve yet to make my own. I’m just scared that I would eat it all in one day. :)

LOVE granola, but have never tried to make it myself. Now, I just might. Hope you are having a great week.

My Dad usually makes his own granola and makes a HUGE batch, like bags and bags of it. He also literally throws in any cereal that they have at home :)
