Granola Preparation

Alternative Way

Ahhh, there's nothing like homemade granola. It can be used dry as a snack, to sprinkle over your favorite cereal or baked to make bars.

Here's a granola recipe that makes about 6 servings. Just let your imagination go when you're making granola. The basic ingredients are as follows:

• 2 tablespoons grapeseed or expeller-pressed canola oil
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds
• 1/2 tablespoon orange zest
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Here are some tips on getting your granola to taste as delicious as it can be:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put everything except the cinnamon in a large bowl and stir until thoroughly coated.
3. Turn out onto a greased baking pan with a rim and spread out the ingredients.
4. Sprinkle the cinnamon on top and bake for 20 minutes, moving everything around until the oats are evenly brown.
5. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes. Store in a zip-lock bag in the freezer until ready to eat.

Then simply enjoy. Crunch, crunch!
