Granola

My boys love granola on their yogurt, but they do not like nuts in it. This recipe is excellent, you can add nuts and fruit if you like.

Granola

3 cups oats
3/4 cup sweetened coconut
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/8 cup honey
1/4 cup EVOO

Preheat oven to 250, in a bowl combine oats, coconut, wheat germ, and brown sugar (this is also where you would add 2 cups nuts if desired; 1c slivered almonds & 1 cup cashews) In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, honey, and EVOO, then mix with oat mixture. Pour onto 2 cookie sheets, and bake for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a bowl (at this point mix in any raisins or dried fruit. Store in an airtight container.
