It is simple, easy, and can be modified to fit personal tastes. Plus there almost no possible way to mess it up and it makes your house/apartment smell fantastic.
Maple Apricot Raisin Granola
3 cups oats
very generous shake of cinnamon
1 cup dried raisins
1 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/2 c. chopped almonds
1/2c. + 2 T. PURE maple syrup
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
First take a sheet pan and cover it with aluminum foil. Rub some canola oil on the aluminum foil to prevent sticking.
Next combine oats, cinnamon, raisins, apricots, and almonds in a bowl.
Then add your PURE maple syrup and stir. At first it might not look like enough liquid but just keep mixing until the dried ingredients are lightly coated
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Stirring after about 8-10 minutes. I like my granola with a little chew. However if your more of a crunchy granola person then bake it for a few more minutes.
Cool on the sheet pan
This makes a perfect addition to breakfast. I used mine mixed with soy yogurt, fresh banana slices, and cherries.
