Granola with Flaxseed

By kspurlock

Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• ¾ cup sliced blanched almonds (about 2 ½ ounces)
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• ¼ cup honey
• 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil
• ½ cup dried cranberries
• ½ cup golden raisins
• ¼ cup unsalted sunflower seeds
• 1 tablespoon ground golden flaxseed (from about 1 ½ teaspoons whole)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350º F. Toss together oats, coconut and almonds in a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk together vegetable oil and honey in a small bowl; stir into oats mixture. Spread out oats mixture on a rimmed baking sheet.

2. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes; toss with flaxseed oil. Let cool completely. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in dried cranberries, raisins, sunflower seeds and ground flaxseed.



***Letting it cool on the pan makes it stick to the pan so you may want to only let it cool for a few minutes or keep stirring it!
