two peas and their pod -- maple almond granola recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup chopped almonds
• 1/4 cup wheat germ
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 T dark brown sugar
• 3 T pure maple syrup
• 2 T canola oil
• 2 T agave nectar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/3 cup raisins

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a medium bowl, mix the oats, almonds, wheat germ, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar together.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, canola oil, agave nectar, and vanilla. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well. I do this with my clean hands.

3. Spread the mixture out onto a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 300 degrees, stirring occasionally. I probably stir every 7 minutes or so. Take the granola out as soon as it starts to brown.

4. Stir in the raisins and cool completely. Store in an air tight container.
