Chewy Honey Granola

I enjoy making this Chewy Honey Granola!

2 cups dry rolled oats

1 cup pecans

1 cup sunflower seeds

1 cup almonds

1 cup pumpkin seeds

1 cup walnuts

1 cup dried cranberries (or other dried berries)

1 cup coconut (optional)

1/4 cup ground flax seed (optional)

Coarsely chop the nuts and add the remaining above ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well.

Heat the first 4 ingredients in a small sauce pan until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and almond extract and stir.

1/4  cup oil (flax seed, coconut,  or canola)

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp almond extract

add as much love as you like!

Pour syrup over dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper then spread mixture in a thin layer. Bake at 300 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes, stirring twice. 

Remove from oven and move granola around and break it up so it doesn't harden into one layer as it cools. Store in an airtight container.
