1/2 cup brown sugar or apple juice concentrate, mixxed with 1/2 cup water
5 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vanilla
3 to 4 Tbsp natural maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup dried fruit
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350
In a skillet containing no oil or lquid, combine the seeds and nuts. Heat over a low flame, stirring frequently, just until you start smelling a toasty, warm aroma. (Keep watching and don't let them burn.) You can also toast them for 2 minutes in a pan in a toaster oven set on a low setting.
In a large bowl, combine toasted seeds and nuts with remaining ingredients, except dried fruit. Spread the mixture onto 2 cookie sheets and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden, turning the mixture frequently with a spatula or wooden spoon while baking.
Remove from oven and leave granola on pan while cooling.
Add dried fruit to granola and stir to combine.
Store in an airtight container. Makes 6 sups.
Varitation- For a different flavor, experiment with different nuts, or add a touch of orange or maple extract to the granola. Also adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding or reducing brown sugar, apple juice concentrate, or maple syrup.
