Day 32: More Yogurt & New Healthy Granola Recipe

Today I am in heaven! I made some healthy granola and am eating it on my homemade yogurt! Truly wonderful.

Thanks to the healthy habits coach for sharing the healthy granola recipe. I made half of her recipe to give it a first go and  the way I made it is below:

Healthy Homemade Granola

Dry Ingredients:

• 3 cups rolled oats  (you can also use a combination of rolled grains)
• 1 cup of raw pecans chopped
• ¼ cup raw pumpkin seeds & sunflower seeds
• ¼ cup sesame seeds
• ¼ cup wheat germ
• ½ Tablespoon ground cinnamon
• ½ Tablespoon ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp salt
• ¼ cup dried cranberries

Wet Ingredients:

• 1 individual cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/6 cup agave nectar
• 1 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Preheat the oven to 300°F.

Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.  Mix the wet ingredients together, and then stir into dry ingredients.  Stir well to mix thoroughly.

Spread the mixture on one baking pan. Bake for 35 – 40 minutes, or until evenly golden brown.  Stir every 10 – 15 minutes to ensure even browning.

If you use fruit, stir once it is cooled.  Store in the refrigerator.
