Clean Eating Granola

( Barb) The best of snacks:  I sweeten my plain greek yogurt with a bit of honey.  Then top with this yummy granola.  So healthy and good!

Ingredients:
  
3 tablespoons grapeseed  or olive oil
¼ cup raw honey
¼ cup coconut palm sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract, if almonds are used
2 cups rolled oats
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts or pecans)
½ cup dried cranberries (buy the Craisins package with 50% less sugar)

Preheat oven to 350˙ Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Place oil, honey, palm sugar, salt, cinnamon and flavorings in a large bowl.  Mix with a whisk.  Add remaining ingredients.  Mix well with large spoon.

Pour the mixture onto prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.  Bake, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until golden brown, which will take approximately 45 minutes.

Cool completely and store in an airtight container.

Note:  Unsweetened dried apples would be a yummy addition to this recipe
