Homemade Granola
makes 15 breakfasts

5 C. jumbo rolled oats
1 C. slivered almonds
1 C. sunflower seeds
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 C. runny honey, change to 1 C honey if too dry
1/4 C. dried cherries
1/4 dried cranberries
1 C. barley flakes/rye flakes (optional)
1/2 C. flaxseed (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper cut to size.

2. Place the oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, and salt onto the baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes to heat it up.

3. Dip your measuring cup into hot water, discard water, and measure the honey. Run the warm honey over the hot granola and give a good stir to coat honey.

4. Return pan to the oven for the final 30 minutes. Toss the ingredients halfway through their cooking time in order to cook evenly.

5. Remove from oven and add the dried berries, flaxseed, cinnamon, and the barley or rye flakes(if using). Cool well before storing or it will lose its crunch.

6. Store in an airtight container. Serve with yogurt and fruit for breakfast, or with milk.
