My Favorite Granola

Printed from healthyfamilycookin.blogspot.com

*Makes about 5-1/2 Cups

INGREDIENTS:

5 Cups rolled or quick oats

1/4 Cup nuts (I prefer either walnuts or almonds)

1/3 Cup unsweetened coconut

2 Tbsp. ground flax seed

2 Tbsp. brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. butter

1 square of almond bark

3 Tbsp. xagave nectar or honey

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl mix together the oats, nuts, coconut, flax seed, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. In saucepan melt on low heat the butter, almond bark and xagave or honey. As soon as it is all melted together, quickly stir it into the dry mixture. Pour it all onto a cookie sheet and bake at 350 F for 13-15 minutes or until slightly brown. Let cool in pan and then break apart. Eat plain, with yogurt or use in granola bars.
