This is a granola recipe fortified with wheat germ and flax seed that still tastes good.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup wheat germ
- 1/2 cup flax seed meal
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup honey

- 1/2 cup water
PREPARATION:
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, wheat germ, flax seed meal, brown sugar, sunflower seeds, pecans, almonds, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, vanilla and water. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry, and mix until evenly blended. Spread in a greased 9x13 or 11x7 inch baking pan.
