RAW GRANOLA

I've been making my own granola - don't ask me why... in any event, I like RAW and seeds in my diet.  For me, it lightens the load ( so to speak - lol ).

Ingredients: ( all RAW )

2 lbs Large Raw Oats
1 c. flax seed
1 c. pepitas
1 c. sunflower seeds
Just mix these in a plastic bag and use by measuring your portion.

Optional:
Dried Raisins, Cranberries, Cherries, and blackberried

What I do is take my yogurt or skim milk and 1/2 c of my raw granola mixture.  Use 1 Tablespoon of Agave or Stevia to sweeten, then sprinkle my dried fruit on top.

For those that was to experiment further....

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Measure out 2 cups of the granola and add 1/3rd cu dried fruit. Spray a cookie sheet with Pam.  Mix 1/4 c agave with 1/2 c water.  Pour this over the ingredients.  Bake, turning often, to toast the cereal and to absorb the water.

It's really good.
