Granola Recipe

Granola
Most granola contains some sort of oil, but we use fruit juice and syrup or agave nectar to give our oats moisture before backing. There are countless ways to enjoy granola throughout the week: as cold breakfast cereal, combined with steamed milk for a quick and healthy ” oatmeal” or mixed in with yogurt for a midafternoon snack.

RECIPE:

• 4 cups ” old- fashioned” rolled oats
• 1/2 cup of brown suger
• 1 cup  unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
• 1/4 cup unfiltered apple juice
• 1 ripe banana

OPTIONAL ADDITIONS ( use up to 1/2 cup of each )

• Slivered almonds
• chopped cashews
• pine nuts
• golden raisins
• dried berries
• currants
