Granola with Dried Fruit & Nuts

Granola with Dried Fruit & Nuts

Ingredients (*organic)

2 cups Sprouted Whole Grain Cereal (I used Food For Life Ezekiel 4:9 with Almonds)
1 cup Rolled Oats (I used Bob's Red Mill)
1 1/2T Ground Flax Seed
1 cup Chopped Pecans
1 cup Chopped Walnuts

3T Raw Honey (Heavanly Organics)
1t Olive Oil
1t Vanilla Extract (Flavorganics)
1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
1/2t Cinnamon
1/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
1/2 cup Dried Fruit (I used cranberries)

Pre-heat oven to 350. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and add cereal, rolled oats, ground flax seed, pecans and walnuts. Bake for 10 min then remove. In a bowl add your remaining ingredients; honey, olive oil, vanilla extract, applesauce, cinnamon, coconut, fruit and mix in the cereal and nuts. Place granola back onto your baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes stirring every 5-10 minutes to keep from burning. Enjoy it in a bowl with Almond Milk, as a topping on yogurt or alone for a high protein energy boost! Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks (I use Bodum jars, they are airtight and a classy addition to any coutertop).
